[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #4663: Error in ISAPI module, preventing Netscape access to Frontpage protected areas. From: nthjam001 <email protected>

Bug description: Error in ISAPI module, preventing Netscape access to Frontpage protected areas.

The php4 installation is the Win32 Binaries that are available on the site now. After fllowing the isntallation instruction and testing php, we started experiencing some strange errors on the FrontPage (FP) authentications.

Users, using Netscape browser (ver 4.xx) were no longer able to login. The FP authentication generates the correct dialogue box, but refuses to accept even the web administrator passwords. After trying for almost 3 days to work around the problem (posting to NT newsgroups, reviewing any and all documentation and trying all sorts of authentication methods), we finally uninstalled php4 from the server.

And now Netscape can log into the protected web areas without any problems.

There isn't anything unique to the setup, as we aren't running SSL, or anything really different.

It seems strange to be that the ISAPI module would affect the FP authentication, but that is the indication.

Thanks
James
