Project Professional Connection to Project Server

[Adam Clark]

Hi all,
I am building a Project Server demo site currently and I have run
accross a rather annoying issue when connecting Project Professional to
Project Server

Currently I am running Project Pro 2003 SP1 and Project Server 2003 SP1. I
can access Project Server through the web interface with no problems however
when I attempt to connect Project Pro (following making the the site
trusted) I get the following message:

The server at 'http://sol41-epm-d/projectserver' returned the following
error to Project.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are not authorized to view this page
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the
credentials that you supplied because your Web browser is sending a
WWW-Authenticate header field that the Web server is not configured to
accept.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

Contact the Web site administrator if you believe you should be able to view
this directory or page.
Click the Refresh button to try again with different credentials.
HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to server
configuration.
Internet Information Services (IIS)


I must admit that I am at lost for the cause of this error, can anyone shed
some light on a possible solution

Thanks in advance

Adam,

Have you set the project server as a trusted site in IE. This setting does affect project pro's ability to connect to the server.

Yes,
It is actually failing following the addition of the the site to the
Trusted Site.

It's a strange issue
