Secondary site with Windows Integrated Authentication

Marc

2004-12-29, 8:46 pm

I am having a problem with the whole public site with anonymous access and
the secondary entry point with Windows Authentication issue. I have this set
up properly (I believe) with IIS and the second entry point using the same
file locations as the public site. I currently have guest access disabled on
the public site as I am still working on the templates etc. If I go the
public site, it gives me the default challenge and allows me to authenticate
and use the sytem just fine and I have create a posting for the "front page"
of the site.

When I go to the secondary entry point, it challenges for authentication
with the standard windows popup. I fill in the information and I am
immediately sent to the standard "Server Erro in '/' Application" page which
says the following:

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom
error settings for this application prevent the details of the application
error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however,
be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable
on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config"
configuration file located in the root directory of the current web
application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute
set to "Off".



<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom
error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's
<customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.



<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

So I looked at the web.config page that is in the VS project that contains
the templates and turned off custom errors. Same error occures.

Which web.config do I need to work with and or how do I get the
authentication to work with this method?

Thanks!

Hi Marc,

I assume you did not change the template directory to be a web application
(needs to be done using IIS MMC).
In addition you need to create the "CMS" virtual directory inside(!) the
template directory (please compare with your other site). This virtual
directory is not allowed to be a web applicaiton (compare icon in both
websites).

Cheers,
Stefan.

Ok...I guess I am confused on how to make this second entry point work.
First is there a detailed description of how to do this somewhere on the web?
If not let me explain the set up I have and if you could give me a step by
step to sort this out I would greatly appreciate it.

First let me say that I am on 2003 and IIS6. I have my CMS site/VS Project
under IIS ->web sites folder ->default website. Under default website folder
I have the following virtual directories: _vit_bin, NR, MCMS and MySiteName.

Under the MySiteName virtual directory, I have virtual directories for
_vti_bin and CMS and then standard directories as follows: bin, Console,
Portal Templates, Project Templates, Shared User Controls.

So, I created a new website called "CMS Admin" under the websites folder and
pointed it to d:/inetpub/www. When I looked in the CMS Admin tree, I get all
of the standard folders that were in the default website directory including
MySiteName(but as a standard directory). I did not get the _vti_bin or MCMS
virtual directories. Under the MySiteName directory, I did not have have CMS
or _vti_bin virtual directories.

From here could you let me know what I need to do or have done wrong to make
this work?

Thanks!

Hi Marc,

first of all you need to configre the new web site as MCMS web entry point
using the SCA.
After this you need to change the template project folder in a web
application using IIS MMC.
In addition you need to create the "CMS" virtual directory inside the
template project web application and ensure that it points to the "IIS_CMS"
folder and ensure that the virtual directory is NOT a web application.

That's all.

Cheers,
Stefan

Stefan,

Thanks for your help with this so far. I think I have it almost there as of
now. I sorted out the web application issue for the site folder as well as
the template folders. I am now getting the following error when trying to
access an assembly in the bin:

I am olny getting this from the secondary entry point. I tried converting
the bin folder in that website into a web application and no luck. I think
this last thing will have me sorted. Sorry for the confusion on this issue.
IIS is not my strong point but im learning

Thanks!

Hi Marc,

please check if the file exists in the following directory - which should be
the case:
D:\inetpub\wwwroot\KeepItMovingDallas\Po
rtal
Templates\bin\RenderPHServerControl.DLL
