Background:
using FrontPage 2002 client
server is a windows 2000 with server extensions.

I have created a discussion group using the wizard in FrontPage 2002. When
I attempt to submit a post a dialogue box opens asking for a userid and
password. If I use the server administrator account and password the post
will be accepted. If I cancel the dialogue box I getting the following
response in the browser:

You are not authorized to view this page

You do not have permission to view this page using your current user
account.
Please try the following:


a.. If you have another user account with a higher level of permission,
click
your browser's Back button to try again using that account.
a.. If you believe you should be able to view this page, contact the Web
site administrator.


How can I set the correct permissions so that:

a.. posting can happen without requiring a password OR

a.. How can I create permissions so that I can make a userid and password
that can only be applied to the discussion group?

thanks,



Hal
 
Where is the discussion content being stored / written to??
Make sure the permissions for the folder and file are set so that the server can write to them.

You need to make sure that the anonymous user account has write permissions
to the directory. In IIS, this is the IUSR_<machinename> account. Otherwise,
a non-authenticated user cannot write to the directory that the files are
stored in.

If the permissions there don't do it, you may need to look at the
permissions for some of the extension files themselves as it could be that
they've lost a setting for the anonymous account and when attempting to
access the extension to process the form the web server is throwing an
authentication.

Hope this helps,

Mark,

I had to go into the server 2002 frontpage extensions and
enable the anonymous to be a contributor.

thanks for the help.
