We are a small student group (just graduated) working on a prototype digital library for our faculty.

Using Inmagic Content Server Version 10.0 - Webpublisher installed on a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server /SQL Server 2000.

We have had great success at creating forms and most aspects of the web interface.

The issue we have not been able to resolve relates to the “Inmagic Choices Browser”.

When we use the Choices Browser functionality we always get the error:

“HttpWebRequest failed: The remote server returned an error: (401)”

We are hoping somebody can assist us?

Hi,
Try adding the below to your InmagicBrowse web.config file within the <system.net> Section.

  
<defaultProxy>
			<proxy
				 usesystemdefault = "false"
				 proxyaddress="http://localhost:80"
				 bypassonlocal="true"
     />
		</defaultProxy> 
 

Otherwise it could be a permissions thing, check ASPNET and IUSR user accounts have access to the ICSWEB directories..

If Craig's suggestion doesn't help, I've had success eliminating that message by using the following two commands at a Windows Command prompt:

proxycfg -d -p " " "*"

cscript \inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set w3svc /NTAuthenticationProviders "NTLM"

You can make the proxycfg command more restrictive (specifying your server name instead of *) once you've verified that the less restrictive command works.

I've only seen the error you're getting when WebPublisher PRO is set up to use Integrated Windows Authentication (rather than Anonymous).
