FP2002: Cannot Log On to Web Site As a Newly Added User
This article was previously published under Q292643
After you add a user to a Security Group of a SharePoint Team Web site or FrontPage 2002 Web Site, you cannot log on to the Web site as that user.
This behavior occurs in the following situation:
You cannot log on to the Web site because the Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS) Basic Authentication password cache has not been "refreshed" to include the newly added user.
To resolve this behavior, change the delay settings that are used by IIS when updating the cache.
For additional information about how to change the delay before user tokens are updated in Microsoft Internet Information Services, click the article number below

Changing the Default Interval for User Tokens in IIS
To work around this behavior, stop and then restart all of the IIS services. This will manually update the IIS cache.
For more information about how to restart services, search for the word "Services" in Microsoft Windows Help.
When you use Basic Authentication, the user supplies an unencrypted (plain text) user name and password to the IIS server computer. The Web server stores this information in a memory cache and creates a session for the user with the same credentials as the corresponding Microsoft Windows NT account.
The IIS server stores this cached account information for up to two hours but with a minimum time of fifteen minutes (idle lifetime).
For this reason, when you add a user account to one of the Web site security groups, you may have to wait for up to fifteen minutes before the IIS cache refreshes and can authenticate the changes. These cache settings are stored in the Windows registry. To view these settings, click the article number that is referenced in the "Resolution" section of this article.

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

edits), please consult a professional.
