help needed with MSIB Solution site

2004-09-02, 6:21 pm

Hi,

I'm using the MSIB solution site, and everything seems to work fine with the
channels and the integration between the CS catalog and CMS, but I'm getting
"access denied" when I try to go to some of the aspx pages, but not all of
them (such as myaccount.aspx, login.aspx, msibcmslogin.aspx, not in the
advancedsearch.aspx or searchresults.aspx), and I don't know where to
configure it.

In the Commerce Server sites, there was a section in the web.config file
that stated the pages that needed authentication, but I can't find it in this
application.

Any lights on where to go from here would be appreciated

Best Regards,

SC

Thank you for using Microsoft Newsgroups.

Configuration could be a little different between Windows 2003 and Windows
2000. I will assume you are using Windows 2003 and MSIB 2.1 or 2.5.

In the Single Server Deployment Guide, they have you create a
Domain\Webuser account. If in a single server, follow that document to use
the Domain\Webuser.

If in a distributed environment, make sure you create a Domain\Webuser
account and use it to:
- set the application pool identity
- add it to the web user IIS_WPG group
- give read permissions in the windows\temp folder
- use it in any IIS virtual directory or page where you allow anonymous
access
- add the account to the inetpub\wwwroot\msib21 physical folder.
- Make sure you have that account identified as the guest login account.
- Check Site Manager > User Roles > Subscribers > you should see a guest
rights group and in a default setup, you will need to see your
Domain\Webuser account .
