When you get that error, do you get the same error when connecting to the root of the webserver? I.e. http://webserver/default.htm ? Is that what you're saying?
If so, then you don't have the web site permissions correct. If you don't have those correct, you won't be able to get to the rest of the virtual directories. Something changed because by default you can get to the default web page when you first set one up. It's much easier to use SSL and not make the mods. That way you won't wonder what got changed that's screwing you up. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern, Tom Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 2:30 PM To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] OT:IIS 5.0 Hi, i'm running IIS 5.0 on win2k sp3 and i'm trying to get the change password functionality working with no sucess. I created the vir iisadmpwd dir with read and script permissions. i allow anyomous access to this dir. i edited the metabase with adsutil.vbs to allow password change on non-secire ports(just for testing right now). In app mappings the .htr ext is mapped to ism.dll. however, when i browse to the site from anywhere(including the webserver itself), i get http 403 forbidden error. I understand that with sp4, MS changed the functionality of this to use asp instead of isapi for good security reasons and the app mapping changed to asp.dll, but the webserver i have is on sp 3(and while i plan on installing sp4 and going the asp path, i figured since i can't even get it to work using ism.dll, i shouldn't throw more software at the problem till i get this resolved). I know this is OT, but could someone direct me as to what i'm screwqing up here? thanks. p.s.- as i said, i am going to use asp for this and ssl and i realize the security risks of running ism.dll as local system but i'm just trying to get this to work in the defaults for testing before i go live with the other features. thanks again List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
