Populating Connection Manager Profile Using the INS File

ID: Q186798

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

The Internet Connection Wizard does not configure Connection Manager for Internet Service Provider (ISP) Signup.

CAUSE

Some of the fields needed in the INS file are missing, and therefore the Internet Connection Wizard (ICW) does not know it needs to configure the Connection Manager.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, add or modify the following fields in the INS file as follows:


   [ClientSetup]
   Done_Message
   <The message you want to display to the user at the end of signup
   here.>
   Explore_Command
   <The page you want to take the user to at the end of signup here.
   For example: http://www.microsoft.com>

   [Custom]
   Run=icwconn2.exe

   [Custom_Dialer]
   Auto_Dial_DLL=cmdial32.dll
   Auto_Dial_Function=_InetDialHandler@16

   [Entry]
   Entry_Name=<This has to match the name of your Connection Manager
   profile.>

Also make the following changes in the Template.cmp file, located in the CMAK\ENU directory, and rebuild your profile using CMAK:


   [Connection Manager]
   RememberPassword=1

Additional query words: connection manager cm cmak
