In Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2004, the password appears to be automatically generated in the "Dialing Configuration" dialog box, but the dial-up connection does not work

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Dialing Configuration dialog box in Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004 to configure an account, the account password appears to be automatically generated. However, after you click OK to continue, the dial-up connection does not work because the password is missing.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Password box in the Dialing Configuration dialog box contains asterisk (*) characters. When you see the asterisk characters, you may mistakenly assume that the Password box is automatically populated with a valid password.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2004 Standard Edition
  • Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2004 Enterprise Edition

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.
