Forward Slash (/) Incorrectly Rejected by IAS Profile Tab

ID: Q194956


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Commercial Internet System version 2.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT 4.0


SYMPTOMS

The Internet Authentication Service Properties profile tab allows administrators to add vendor-specific attributes. When you try to add the Ascend-Data-Filter attribute, you are prompted for the attribute value. The correct value should look like the following:

However, when you type the forward slash (/), the system beeps and will not allow you to enter this character.


CAUSE

The attribute Abinary format is incorrectly prohibiting the forward slash character.
