You Receive a Warning Message When You Try to Save a New Page in MCMS 2002 (822539)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Content Management Server 2002

SYMPTOMS

When you save a new page in Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) 2002, you may receive the following warning message:

A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 detects a postback from the client that contains HTML. This behavior is expected from an MCMS client. However, because of the configuration of the Web.config file, the .NET Framework sees this postback as potentially malicious. You must add a page directive to the Web.config file to resolve this problem.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, add the following code to the Web.config file for your MCMS application under the <pages> tag:

   <configuration> 
      <system.web> 
         <pages validateRequest="false" /> 
      </system.web> 
   </configuration>

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1.

MORE INFORMATION

If you use the original released version of MCMS, the .NET Framework 1.1 is not supported. However, MCMS 2002 Service Pack 1 (SP1) fully supports the .NET Framework 1.1. If you have not installed MCMS 2002 SP1, use the .NET Framework 1.0.
