I am currently getting an SSL cert for my server and want to allow users to have have their own secured directory.

From my understanding I would have to have a wildcard cert (which is very expensive) to give each domain their own cert. So for cost reasons I just setup a directory like:

https://www.mydomainname/secure/theirsecuredirectory/


Now, the guy has frontpage and wants to put files into that directory. I copied the files from his directory into my secure directory and we get errors when he tries to submit feedback because of frontpage.

My server is setup for frontpage. How can I make this work? It looks like the server isn't recognizes the front page directory because it says it couldn't find shtml.exe.

Also - is there anyway to allow someone to login directly to this directory?

you mentioned when he submits feedback. if it's related to forms for what it's worth, this is something that got me the first few times with frontpage. Thanks to dialtone.

Telnet to the server as admin and su to root. Check in /usr/local/frontpage You will see a file for each site that has frontpage enabled. Type less 'filename'.
At the end of the file should be a line that says MailSender:nobody@myserver.mydomain.com
For example MailSender:nobody@www.domain.com If that is not listed then edit the file and put it in at the end of the file.

If the site is also running SSL you will need to make a copy of the file.

cp www.domain.com:80.cnf www.domain.com:443.cnf

Where www.domain.com is the name of your site.

Also, for what it's worth, I've had issues with frontpage taking control of files, or not wanting to play fair with files that FP didn't upload itself (or import). Don't know if that could be the cause.

I checked all that out - everything was fine - I had to add the 443.conf file though.

Now - I did that but I still get an error:

https://www.mydomain.com/secure/directory/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/secureloanapp.htm

The requested domain could not be found.

So... I know I don't have the _vti_bin in the directory so I created one and copied the shtml.exe file to it.

Then I get an error that I do not have permission to access this file.

How can I get this to work?

I have a form that I am trying to email that is secured.
