Publishing prompts for login

[Guest]

We are using FrontPage 2003 to publish a site to a Windows 2003 IIS server
with FrontPage server extensions enabled. We have 5 users who have been
given permission to publish the site. One of the users recently changed her
domain password and ever since has not been able to publish the site. When
she tries, she is prompted for a password and even if you put in the current
username and password, it just asks again for a password. Other users are
able to publish with no problems.

Here is what I have tried so far:

I am able to publish from her machine with my credentials. I am not able to
publish from another machine using her credentials.

I have gone into Internet Options and added the site as a trusted site and
set it to "Automatically log in with current username and password".

I have attempted to clear the autocomplete password history in IE but the
machine hangs at 100% processor utilization when I try to do this. I don't
think this is the issue however since I have also tried from a different
machine with her username and password.

When she attempts to enter her username and password at the prompt, the IIS
server shows an Event ID 680 in the security log:

Event Type: Failure Audit
Event Source: Security
Event Category: Account Logon
Event ID: 680
Date: 2/16/2005
Time: 3:31:14 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: IISSERVER
Description:
Logon attempt by: MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0
Logon account: (e-mail address removed)
Source Workstation: workstation
Error Code: 0xC0000064

When I lookup this error code on Technet, it says that it means that the
user account is unknown.

Anyone have any ideas on what to try next?

probably the best way out of it is to delete her account entirely and create
a new user and password.

Is this a known issue with Frontpage or Windows 2003? Do I run the risk of
having to do this again the next time she changes her password?

 

[Chris Leeds, MVP-FrontPage]

Not as far as I know. I would encourage her not to replicate the situation
though.

I found the solution to this elsewhere. It was a problem with the FPSE. If
you check out "Deploying Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions with
Windows Server 2003" document from the MS download site, there is a "Common
Errors and Resolutions" section that gives some good info. My problem in
particular was the "roles.ini" file did not have the correct permissions.
The document tells you to check the permissions on the parent folder, but in
my case, the roles.ini file was not inheriting permissions from the parent.
When I set it to the same permissions as the parent, (everyone - Read)
everything started working again.

That's great Tim,
thanks for posting back with the solution, I'm sure you'll have helped
someone else encountering the same problem.
