Hi,
Although I am primarily using FP2002, I've been having this problem with any
version of FP later than 2000 (have tried 2000, 2002, 2003). It does not
happen with FP98. Basically what's happening is Frontpage 2002 locks my
local domain user account just about every time I try to publish to another
domain that trusts my user domain. I am publishing from my local domain's QA
environment, to either 3 or 4 clustered servers (depending on the site) on
the other domain (production env.). One thing that is important to note is
that I don't have a domain account in the other (prod.) domain; I have a
local account on each of the clustered machines that allows me publish
access. This is an account with the same username (but different password)
as my logon domain's account.
My best theory so far is that somewhere during the publish from one
environment to the other, FP2002 is trying to authenticate my ID back to the
QA environment for some reason and it's using the account from the prod
environment. It does this several times in rapid succession, which causes
the maximum failed logon attempts and locks my account.
I don't really know what to do to stop this from happening. I've had a look
at the KB and have asked in other forums, but haven't found anyone else
having the same issue. (Other users in my dept. have the same thing happen
if they use any ver. of FP later than 2k, so it's not just my workstation or
my account.) I haven't had much luck figuring out or finding documentation
on how differently FP 2000+ authenticates from the way FP98 does....as this
seems the key since FP98 doesn't ever cause this to occur.
The only reason we don't use FP98 instead of the later versions is b/c we
have macros created for FP2002 that allow us to automate some of these
publishes which is something we very much desire to use.
Thanks in advance for any help with this vexing issue.
Regards,
Dave
