Multiple logon prompts when using SSL from external clients
Okay my problem: When accssing my sharepoint Intranet site from an www PC
using its external IP address (uisng XPsp2), I am first propmeted for a logon
thats fine.
After that I get multiple long screens whilst the home page is loading.
After lots of data is not available, some icons are missing and when i click
on a subsite i get the follwoing message:
Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its
dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is
temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that
it is spelled correctly. :
Right my setup is w2003 server r2 running Sharepoint Services (with service
pack) using ssl encryption 128bit. The server is set to Intergrated Windows
Authentication (i have tried basic too) anoynomus auth is off.
I have noticed that a few ssl warnings come up after the initail logon upon
vieiwng these it is trying to use an addtional certificate that is actually
installed on a different server (my mail server which uses ssl for OWA) could
that be whats causing the problem.......................?
Hope I have supplied enough info if not ask away. Many thanks Tag: Charts Tag: 48919
SQL Server with SharePoint.
I am currently running Windows 2003 Standard running a Web Site
(default site) on one IP and a SharePoint site(s) on another IP
utilizing the desktop version of SQL. The two sites have been running
for almost a year now without any problems.
I am in the process of evaluating upgrading our existing Access
Database to SQL Server 2005 my concern (and is probably a newbie
concern) is will installing SQL Server 2005 overwrite or damage the
existing SharePoint SQL instance?
Are there any good documents to outline any special steps to install
SQL Server 2005 while having a SharePoint site operating. Tag: Charts Tag: 48915

How can I transfer document properties between document libraries?
Hi,
We have decided on two separate Doc Libraries in WSS to handle Document
Creation (Lib A - Drafts) and Public Document Access (Lib B - Published).
Lib A is secured so that only a select group can access it, add, edit,
manage docs (MS Word, MS Visio) in it.
Lib B is for everyone to view, and will contain PDFs only.
We create docs and store in Lib A, then print to PDF to publish (i.e.
copy) to Lib B. Currently we have no smarts to accomplish this, but we
need to make it as easy and automated as possible.
Document Properties stored in documents in Lib A need to be transferred
with the PDF across to Lib B, can this be scripted in any way? We
currently convert to PDF using a tool that doesn't save all Custom
Properties into the PDF
Any ideas, help appreciated!

...trying to sip from a firehose...
Ok, there can certainly be no criticism of 'lack of information' about
Sharepoint..
The problem is, I have very basic questions and there is just too much
information to get good, simple answers.
We have an all WindowsXP/OfficeXP environment with the one (annoying)
exception of Lotus Notes.
Notes allows document sharing in a way I can't seem to get elsewhere. I
need for a dozen or more people to be able to open & edit the same
spreadsheet simultaneously and transparently. I can do this with Notes - but
that isn't enough of a reason to keep it. I want to do away with Notes and I
need some way for users to share files not normally shareable.
We could use a ton of other features, I'm sure - but this is the immediate,
demonstrable business need.
Can Sharepoint do this? I don't know sharepoint, so a ton of involved
explanation isn't going to help me much - just the facts, ma'am?
Thanks in advance..

Document Library's "Basic Page" not saved under folder
We are using WSS 2003. When we are in the document library webpart, and do a
"New Document", then choose "Basic Page". The Basic Page that is created is
always saved in the root of the doc library and not within the folder that is
currently open. I don't see a "Save As" button to allow you to choose its
location like you can do in the other Office tools. Since the Basic Page is
stored at the root, when you copy it to a folder using the Explorer View, it
will not copy the contents of the Basic Page. It does work if you do a
Cut/Paste, but we've had problems sometimes losing files this way, so we'd
rather do Copy/Paste and then delete the old if the copy is successful. Is
this a known issue? Or does anyone know a work-around?
