RE: [WhatsUp Forum] After installing MS patch Q832894, can't view W hat'sup Gold site

I missed the .REG file, can I get a copy of it? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/13/04 03:32PM >>> I tried the .REG fix posted by Kevin Fradley and it worked great.  The nice thing about a .REG file is that you can give it to your users and say "here, run this". As I previously pointed out, an alternate workaround is to use Mozilla as a browser.  It never had the security flaw that affected IE and is not affected by this week's patch.  You and Alonzo Seaborne have both identified that the WhatsUp Gold webserver does not authenticate using NTLM (or have AD integration, etc).  This is something that is on the feature request list, along with stuff like supporting NTLM authentication when performing HTTP monitoring, offering SSL support for both the internal webserver and when monitoring HTTPS.  Mark Symons Ipswitch, Inc Augusta GA -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Benton, Bob Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 14:23 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] After installing MS patch Q832894, can't view W hat'sup Gold site I'm in full agreement with you Mark, Microsoft broke a perfectly valid and legal use.  I'm just asking...is there something you could do with one of the other workarounds Microsoft recommends on the server/asp side?.  That is my real question.  (Not to mention WUG could use AD or some other directory service as an alternative to the local authentication db so that seamless login could be performed, but we won't go down that road today.) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mark Symons Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 1:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] After installing MS patch Q832894, can't view W hat'sup Gold site One thing is for sure...  the problem your are experiencing is not caused by your WhatsUp Gold software. It's caused by your patched Internet Explorer.  The only people who can fix the problem are the folks at Microsoft,  who removed support for a perfectly valid URL form.
