Editing an HTML File

[Chris Kelleher]

I'm gotten a fresh load of webspeed 2.1 on an NT laptop.
I've gotten a database setup, the ws service running. and workshop running
ok.
I've downloaded one of our webspeed apps on to my machine and am attempting
to
edit one of the html files. I choose the file and then click on the edit
button. It appears to
begin loading the file but then gives me the error off to the upper
right-hand screen
"load the Sedction List for this file"
I've been told this is because of my iis settings on this machine being
incorrect and
that I need to have all (three) options set under authentication methods.
Allow Anonymous Access
Basic Authentication (passwords sent in clear text)
Windows NT challenge/response
I have done all of this. restarted everything, but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Since you have WS on your notebook I'm guessing you're
running NTWS and have installed PWS (Personal WebServer,
the limited version of IIS).

Which node in MMC did you apply those security setting
to, Default Web Site?

My PWS install defaulted to having "Allow Anonymous
Access" and "Windows NT Challenge/Response" checked.

I selected the WS Messenger (wsisa.dll) and added
"Basic Authentication" to secure WS Workshop. You
mush us a valid NT account to access a WS URL now
(not just WS Workshop). I did notice some strange
behavior in an app when selecting this option. I
dealt with writing HTML/JS to hidden frames then
NOT being able to "view source" because the document
had expired from cache. I don't know what this was
happening.

What browser are you using? I think there were problems
with the Java editor in certain versions of IE (or
something like that). I'm using NS 4.5 and everything
seems to work fine.
