When you try to locate your Microsoft Office Solutions
Accelerator for Proposals Web site, you may receive the following error message
in the Document Actions task pane:
Cannot connect to web
service
http://server:port/MSProposals.asmx.
Please
contact your system administrator to locate the correct address and reinstall
the client.
This problem may occur if you install Office Solutions
Accelerator for Proposals on a computer that is running Microsoft Office
SharePoint Portal Server 2003.
To resolve this problem, change the application pool for
your Office Solutions Accelerator for Proposals Web site to the same as the
portal server.
To do this, follow these steps on your portal server:
- Click Start, and then click
Run.
- In the Open box, type
inetmgr, and then click OK.
- In the Internet Information Services (IIS)
Manager, expand your server.
- Expand Web Sites.
- Right-click Microsoft Office Solution Accelerator
for Proposals, and then click Properties.
- On the Home Directory tab, change the
Application pool box to the same pool that is used by your
portal server (typically
MSSharePointPortalAppPool).
- Click OK to close the Microsoft
Office Solution Accelerator for Proposals Properties dialog
box.
- On the File menu, click
Exit to close the Internet Information Services (IIS)
Manager dialog box.
With Integrated Authentication turned on, you can either use
Microsoft Windows NT Challenge/Response (NTLM) authentication or
Kerberos.

How to configure IIS Web site authentication in Windows Server 2003
If you set the application pool identity to a Local
account, Negotiate uses NTLM because Kerberos is not available for local
accounts. If you set the application pool identity to a domain account,
Negotiate tries unsuccessfully to use Kerberos. In IIS, the metabase key that
controls the order that NTLM or Kerberos is used in, is
NTAuthenticationProviders.
To allow the application pool to run under
a domain account, Kerberos has to be turned off. To do this, follow these
steps:
- Click Start, and then click
Run.
- In the Open box, type cscript
adsutil.vbs set w3svc/NTAuthenticationProviders "NTLM", and then
click OK.
- Restart IIS.
