SYMPTOMS
When you try to administrate Microsoft Index Server running with Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) version 2.0, you may see the following error message with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0:

Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site

http:// /srchadm/admin.htm

The requested header was not found.



CAUSE
By default, the Index Server only allows Administrative accounts and the System account access to the administrative functions of the server. If you only have Allow Anonymous selected in the Microsoft Internet Service Manager Password Authentication, any user is denied access, and the user will get the above error message.



RESOLUTION
Check either Basic (Clear Text) or Microsoft Windows NT Challenge/Response authentication under the Microsoft Internet Service Manager Password Authentication. This will allow users to use any browser for Index Server administration.
