PRB: Errors with Integration After Enabling P & M

ID: Q243337

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 32-bit, for Windows versions 5.0, 6.0
  • Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 6.0
  • Microsoft FrontPage 2000
  • Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows, version 98
  • Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows, version 97
  • Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions
  • Microsoft Site Server version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

After enabling Personalization & Membership (P & M) from Site Server, the integration with Visual InterDev and Microsoft FrontPage no longer works.

From Visual InterDev, you receive the following error:

User "MemProxyUser" not found.
As a result, FrontPage no longer displays the green dots next to the files in the Web project.


CAUSE

P&M has its own anonymous user and this user has not been added to Visual SourceSafe.


RESOLUTION

Resolution One

Install a second Web site on the Web server and have P & M enabled on one site (site one) and do all the development from the other site (site two). Both of these Web sites can point to the same directory, namely \InetPub\wwwroot and thus when development makes a change to site two, it is reflected on site one. This way P&M works when you browse from site one and it won't effect Visual SourceSafe integration on site two.

Resolution Two

Enable P & M on a different server and don't use all three together.

Resolution Three

Add the MemProxyUser to Visual SourceSafe.

NOTE: After doing this, all the Check Ins and Check Outs, from Visual SourceSafe are done by this user.


STATUS

This behavior is by design.
