Administrator

I am using IE 6 and SQL Server 2000.

I installed the software per the instructions, concluding with the Corporate Portal. When it was done, I clicked on the link to go to the newly created site. That looks fine and can be navigated to other pages.

I clicked on the CMS Desk link and on the CMS Site Manager link. Both take me to the logon.aspx page. I type in Administrator with no password and click the "Log on" button. The logon does not fail (like it does when I try a different user name), but the page remains as the logon.aspx page, rather than the page 15 illustrated in the tutorial manual.

I cleared cookies and temporary Internet files and restarted IE, but the result is the same.

Any ideas?

RE:Administrator

Problem Summary: After installing Kentico CMS locally, I am able to access and display the site. Then, when attempting to logon as Administrator, the login does not fail, but I am returned to the lgon page without an error or failure and without access to the Admin functions.

My Problem: I discovered by experimenting that ZoneAlarm Pro was blocking the successful login from displaying the proper page.

Solution: 1. To allow me to work successfully, I remove my Internet connection, stop ZoneAlarm, and then access the local Kentico CMS site. All works well. I then start ZoneAlarm Pro before going back online.
2. I tried changing different ZoneAlarm settings without success. I checked ZoneAlarm Pro's forums and discovered that this is a known (and apparently unfixed since 2004) issue. I tried several suggestions in their forums without success. If I find one that works, I will post it as a followup to this one.
