Using non-standard Credit Card
|
|
Q:
|
We have a client that we are setting up a site for.
This client wants to accept Mastercard, Visa, and Discover, AND their own
private card. How do we add this private card to site server's list of
accepted cards? From the documentation, we know that we can use
IPaymentOtherCardInstall interface and IPaymentCCTypeInstall interface. How
do we get to these interfaces to use them?

Publishing Images in Subdirectory with Content Management
|
|
Q:
|
Using the content management/publishing features of Site Server, we can
set it up to enable our users to publish to their relevant area's of our
intranet. We, like many organisations, use a directory structure where
images relating to a document are all stored in a subdirectory called
images.
Presently, it's possible to upload documents and the related images at once
but unfortunately these are then all dumped into the same directory.
Is it possible to somehow configure Site Server to stick all .gif and .jpg
into a images directory and if so how? Has anyone else done this - I'm sure
others have come across this before?

Q:

Do I have to use NT Challenge/Response when protecting the store

I would like to be able to use Basic Auth. since some users may be using
Netscape and we seem to have problems with NT C/R across our network (which
is another issue).

Altering SS Commerce GUI
|
|
Q:
|
I want to alter the existing GUI for Site Server. I personally think it
bites. Obviously MS was more interested in functionality that
appearance. That is not a bad thing (at least it works - kind of). But I
want to make the user experience more appealing. So I want to basically
design a sleeker interface. How do I do it?

Commerce store across a proxy server(firewall)
|
|
Q:
|
I have a commerce site that is behind a proxy server Its internal URL is EVSSD, (which is the computer name) and the external URL is 'www.dev01.mysystems.com'.
The site configuration file, site.csc stores this URL and supplies the URL to subsequent links in navigating the store.
If I specify the URL formatting in Commerce Host Administration for my store as EVSSD, all the store links work only from inside the firewall. When someone who accesses the site from outside the firewall tries to follow a store link, the URL starts off with the internal name of the site (Instead of 'www.dev01.mystsems.com/store', one gets 'evssd/store'. Because the internal name EVSSD is not resolvable, the user gets an error.
If I specify the URL formatting in Commerce Host Administration for my store as www.dev01.mysystems.com, all the store links work only from outside the firewall. When someone who accesses the site from inside the firewall tries to follow a store link, the URL starts off with the external name of the site (Instead of 'evssd/store', one gets 'www.dev01.mystsems.com/store'.
How do I specify the URL formatting in Commerce Host Administration for my store so that all store links work as expectedregardless of whether a user accesses the site from inside or outside the proxy server?

Are there different filters for Office 95, or should the ones that work for

Importing User Data into SS Analysis Fails
|
|
Q:
|
A week after my Site Sserver 3.0 site (with P&M) went live a I performed
a User import into analysis with no problems (there where only
several hundred users at this stage), but know after a month the import
fails (now there are propably several thousand users) and I get the
following:
Import Stopped - Your membership server is not configured properly to support
this export operation. Please contact the administrator of your
membership LDAP service to modify query settings appropriately. Suggested
settings would allow 'Max Result' to be unlimited and 'max Query Time'
should be 0 (unlimited).
I tried these setting with no better results. Also! Making these changes
caused a massive overhead on the server performance so I reset them
immediately. Does anyone know if there are any known issues in this area.

Search Catalog & Forms Authentication
|
|
Q:
|
I have a site that uses forms-based non-anonymous membership authentication. When trying to create a search catalog of type crawl, the catalog never builds due to being redirected to the 'formslogin' page.
I've entered what i think are appropriate accounts for admin access account: (NT admin using domain\Admin +passwd) content access account (I've used an SSAdministrator account, which is not an NT account, so I didn't use the DOMAIN qualifier.)
It never told me my password was incorrect, it just seems that search can't authenticate using forms-based authentication.

Site Server P&M Administrator Account

Q:

I've written a custom application for user administration on an LDAP membership

administrator account. When the admininistator tries to log in on my application, I get a
property not found when I attempt to get the admin's guid. I wrote an error
trap to catch it, create a GUID, and send it back to the Admininistartor's browser, but
that enerates an internal Site Server error. Has anyone seen this problem before or have any type of workaround?

We just can't get this to run. Has anyone got this to work?? We are running IIS4, Site Server 3 SP1 and NT SP4 (it didn't work with SP3 either).
Anyone got any ideas?

LDAP//myserver:1003 or using it as a Directory Search Source for a people

Working With Adobe PDF

Q:

I installed the Adobe PDF iFilter and had success finding which files
contained my search criteria. The PDF files that I am searching are over a
Meg for the most part. The problem is that I still have to weed through
pages of content to find the information within the file that was included
in the search results. I wish there was a way to index the file and then go
to the specific point in the file where the results are located.
If anyone has any information on how to enhance search capabilities in PDF
files, I would appreciate it.

Purchase Pipeline Erroring
|
|
Q:
|
I was having a problem with our purchase pipeline erroring when purchasing
and trying to edit via the web, but not with the pipeline editor (desktop).
It appears that if the server console is in a "log off" mode, the purchase
pipeline (and only purchase) fails! But, if I'm logged in (at the console)
as a user who has access to that purchase.pcf file, everything works great.
If I LOCK the workstation, it still works ok. It's only when no one is
logged in. Why is that?
