Users May Gain Access to Edit the FrontPage PWP Root Web

This article was previously published under Q266252

SYMPTOMS

When you install Microsoft Commercial Internet System (MCIS) Personal Web Pages (PWP) with the FrontPage Server Extensions by following the instructions in the "Install MCIS 2.5 PWP" section in the "MCIS 2.5 Training Guide," which is included in the MCIS 2.5 Resource Kit, you may be able to gain access with all PWP users when you try to connect to and edit the PWP root Web with the FrontPage Client.

CAUSE

Users are able to access the root Web because the default NTFS permissions on the root Web are set to Everyone-Full Control. FrontPage uses NTFS permissions to verify if you have Browse, Author, or Administrator permissions for the Web.

RESOLUTION

To change this behavior, change the NTFS permissions for the root Web to Read access for the MemProxyUser.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
