On my IIS 4.0 (NT 4.0 SP3) Web Server I configured multiple sites using Host Header Names (so all listen to port 80). I want to index all sites using Site Server 3.0 crawling.
For the sites that do not allow Anonymous Access, I configured the crawler to use the NT account admin which has sufficient priviliges. Web site logfiles however show that Site Server tries to access these sites on an anonymous basis instead of using the account I configured. No matter what I do, Site Server doesn't seem to use the specified account.
Things I tried:
- Installing IIS 4.0 and Site Server 3.0 on the same machine as well as on different machines (all NT 4.0 SP3) - specifying the account at the Catalog Build Server level as both admin and DOMAIN\admin - specifying the account at the Catalog level as both admin and DOMAIN\admin by adding a Crawl Rule and using NTLM (also configured at the Web Site itself) - specifying the account at the Catalog level as both admin and DOMAIN\admin by adding a Crawl Rule and using Basic Authentication (also configured at the Web Site itself)
Is this a bug ? Maybe it's the Host Header Names since I know there is a bug when browsing secured sites with IE 4.x using NTLM, DNS and Host Header Names.
For those who missed my posting about this subject (on which I by the way never got a response): IE show a Logon Dialog Box when accessing a secured site using NTLM and a Host Header Name (DNS CNAME record) in the URL *even* when the user is logged on to his NT Workstation with a domain account with sufficient priviliges. Access the same site (and file) by using the WINS-name in the URL and IE does *not* come up with a Logon Dialog Box (the correct behaviour).
Anyone on this ?
