Re: continuing questions....Share Point 2.0 on SBS2003 SP2

Chris,

Actually, there is a legitimate third-party Certificate that covers https://mail.mydomain.com installed on the SBS2003 box. When they enter https://mail.mydomain.com/remote they do not receive the "Certificate Error" as the Certificate installed on the SBS2003 box is valid.

So, that would resove this potential issue, correct?

Also, I checked....in IIS the Directory Security is set to Integrated Authentication. I kinda expected to see Basic Authentication....not the case.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

Cary

They most likely have not installed the Self Signed Certificate on their laptops??

Good afternoon!

Okay, back on 06/01 I posted a question that Costas was kind enough to
answer. I have more questions!

SharePoint 2.0 on SBS2003 SP2...The Sales Force is using this from out on
the road and are using Remote Work Workplace to access the "internal company
web site". Most things are running very smoothly, but there are a couple of
issues.

One of them - and I believe this to be machine specific as I do not get it -
is that they are constantly prompted to install ActiveX .dll files. This is
annoying to them. And I can agree with that. I do not have the names of
the files (sorry...one is something like owaasp.dll....another one is
stsupld.dll I believe). This is *probably* a machine to machine thing? All
of the laptops are running Windows XP SP3 and Office 2003 SBE (SP
unknown....I believe SP3 in most/all cases). Like I said, I do not have
this problem on my laptop and I am running WINXP Pro SP3 with Office 2007
(both fully patched).

Another problem is that they are constantly prompted for credentials. Now,
I have done this as normal users and I have done this as
'Administrator'....same results. Proces is as follows:

Open up RWW and enter credentials
Click on the "internal company website" link

We get prompted for credentials here.....is that supposed to be? It is the
'basic authentication' box that pops up.

In the "Quick Launch" (Left Column) I select one of the serveral Document
Libraries.
I click on "New Document"

We get prompted for credentials...again, happens as 'Administrator' and as
'regular user'

Now, in some cases we have modified the default template (either MS Word or
MS Excel). In other cases we have not. Does not matter. Still prompted.
This is going to drive them nuts. I think that it would bug me a bit.

I will stop here.

If anyone can offer any assistance I would appreciate it. I am using
SharePoint 2.0 on SBS2003 for the first time so I do not know if these
things are supposed to happen or not. I am thinking not!

Thanks,

Cary
