(401) Unauthorized - Error

[Guest]

I am setting up some collaboration software called eProject for a client.
eProject is a web based asp application. During setup, the instructions
called for registering a service called eProjectNotificationService. Along
with registering the service, there is a
eProjectNotificationService.exe.config file where you setup your SMTP server
settings:

<configuration>

<appSettings>
<!-- Common Settings -->
<add key="assemblyPath" value="D:\eProject\website\bin" />
<add key="configDirectory" value="D:\eProject\config"/>
<add key="webRoot" value="http://eproject.jsaengineering.com/" />
<add key="mediaRoot" value="http://eproject.jsaengineering.com/Media" />
<add key="mediaPath" value="D:\eProject\website\media" />
<add key="sqlServerDSN" value="UID=<omitted for posting to
newsgroup>;pwd=<omitted for posting to newsgroup>;Initial
Catalog=eProjectdb;Data Source=server\jsa;pooling=true;Connection
Reset=false;Connection Lifetime=0;" />
<!-- <add key="sqlServerDSN" value="Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial
Catalog=DatabaseName;Data Source=SQLServerName;pooling=true;Connection
Reset=false;Connection Lifetime=0;" /> -->

<!-- NotificationService settings -->
<add key="smtpServer" value="192.168.1.254" />
<!-- The "footerEmail" key is no longer used and thus the value for it can
be ignored -->
<add key="footerEmail" value="No longer used" />
<add key="returnAddress" value="eproject@<domainnameomitted>.com" />
<add key="emailFilter" value="" />
<add key="nsLoggingLevel" value="2" />

<!-- nsInterval determines how frequently system checks for new emails (in
seconds)....min=10 seconds-->
<add key="nsInterval" value="10"/>
<add key="keepSent" value="0"/>
</appSettings>

</configuration>



eProject uses this service to send out notifications of new documents
posted, new user info, etc... The problem exists when eProject attempts to
send a message the following is entered in the application log:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: eProjectNotificationService
Event Category: None
Event ID: 0
Date: 3/14/2006
Time: 9:51:21 PM

I have verified that IUSER and ASPNET user account have read, write and
execute on the virtual directory. IIS is Version 6.0 and is running on
SBS2003.

Any Ideas?

401 error

The notification server relies on some XSL transformations to format the emails. What you are running into is that the service doesn't have access to the XSLT required to do the transformation because its on your web server behind a layer of user security.

Probably at the path

If you or anyone else trying to install the notification server is having this problem, you should call eProject for an official recommendation on your IIS security settings, or opening of a support issue.
