| Hi All,
History: We've build up a Web Hosting system using MPS, AD, IIS with FPSE.
All web contents are stored on Network Share. Security permissions are
handled by AD and applied accordingly over Network Share. For any Frontpage
specific configuration, we use freely available Front Page Provider for MPS.
For configuring Extensions for a Website, we use methods exposed by this
Provider. (we are using FPSE 2002 with Win2K3 Server)
Issue: Once Extensions are configured, user is able to publish content to
his website through Client. But after User changes his Login Name (through an
interface we've build up), he's no more able to login through FP Client.
Investigation: We analyzed the problem and found that while creating
Extensions for a Subweb, it creates a Roles.ini file. In there it maintains a
list of Users and roles mapping. It maintains the Old Format of LoginName
(domain\userName). But when request comes for changing the username, this
file is not modified.
Question: Now coming to the main part, we checked the complete interface doc
for Front Page provider but found no method for updating the userName, other
option left was to update the file through code/script. But dont want to use
this due to security issue. So how can we make sure that the username gets
updated in Roles.ini file.
Do let me know in case you need more information.
Regards,
TJ
