PRB: Proxy Server 2.0 Online Product Documentation Search Fails When Using Nonanonymous Authentication (304029)

SYMPTOMS

The Proxy Server 2.0 online product documentation has a Search feature. If you use authenticated (nonanonymous) authentication on the default Web site or the PrxDocs virtual directory, then use of the Next and Previous buttons may fail with the following error:

Error "The template file can not be found in the location specified by 'CiTemplate=' in file C:\WINNT\help\proxy\misc\prxrch.idq" (0xc000203c) encountered while processing the query "proxy".

CAUSE

The Search feature uses Microsoft Index Server. This is a syntax error in the .htx files of the Search pages.

The .htx files (PrxTurnL.htx and PrxTurnS.htx) are passing the wrong variable (TemplateName) to the IDQ file (Prxrch.idq). When anonymous access is used, the browser is automatically passing the correct variable of CiResultsSize to the IDQ file, but the browser is not doing this when authenticated access is being used.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem:

Locate and open the Prxturnl.htx and Prxturns.htx files in a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad. They should be located in C:\WINNT\Help\Proxy\Misc.
Search for all instances of the string TemplateName and replace with CiResultsSize.
Save both files.
