Editing Console Not Appearing
|
|
|
| Hi Stefan,
we just rewamped CMS site that is now hosted on Windows 2003.However, there
is something strange going on with the Editing console. Logging in to the
site from the server box itself using IE is ok - editing console shows just
fine. Logging from my box across the network - ok as well, but for most of
the editors - once they log in to the new site - they do not see Editing
console using IE as well, even when the same user id/password is used as the
one working from the server box. This is a big issue, cuz nobody will
approve going into production if editors can not edit. Is there something
editors can do to get the editing console to show after the log in?
We have anonumous user allowed and forms authentication is enabled in web
config like so:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="blabla" path="/" loginUrl="ManualLogin.aspx"
protection="All" timeout="5" >
</forms>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
Thank you!

| Hi Ilona,
did these users login using Forms authentication?
If yes the console should show up.
If not, please debug your ManualLogin.aspx to see if a valid ticket has been
created for this login.
Maybe there is a problem with the login page.
The fact that the problem does not occur on the server machine seems to
indicate that you are using windows authenication also.
Please check in IIS MMC if windows authentication is enabled beside
anonymous.
For a site that only needs to be accessed with forms authentication please
disable all other authentication methods beside anonymous in IIS MMC.
Cheers,
Stefan.

| Stefan,
No, we did not do any custom modifications to the console. I did more
testing and here is what I found:
if the user is directly assigned to Moderators, Administrators, or Editors
in Site Manager, then everything works ok. Editing menu shows just fine.
if the user is made a member of an NT group and then the NT group (as
opposed to the individual user) is assigned to Moderators, Administrators,
or Editors in the Site Manager, then editing menu does not show upon log in
(although "login" button switches to "log-off") - so the problem that I
described earlier happens only to NT groups.
On our Win2000/CMS 2002 w/no sp1, sp1a all users were in NT groups and then
those groups were assigned to CMS groups. On the new WIn2003 box w/CMS
SP1a - we seem to have the problem described earlier w/editing console not
showing

| Hi Ilona,
What edition of MCMS are you running?
If it is standard edition it may be throwing you into 'violation mode'.
