BUG: Local Web is Not Created with Same Properties as Master Web

• Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When the user changes into Local mode, the Web behavior may change. Most noticeable is the change of access permissions or authentication type for the Web.

CAUSE

When a local Web is created, it is created with the default Web configuration. None of the settings made in the Web Properties of the Master Web are propagated to the Local Web.

RESOLUTION

You must manually set the Local Web properties to match those of the Master Web.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
