   Subject: Re: [WINServer] AUP GAMMA v6.2.452.1 is now Available   
   Newsgroups: winserver.public.gamma.testing   
   Message-ID: <1173513721.40.0@winserver.com>   
   X-Mailer: Wildcat! Interactive Net Server v7.0.454.5

   After I installed this new update at winserver.com, with my custom    
   pages, I discovered I needed two changes to two templates to make it    
   perfect for everyone:   
      
   1) in http\errors\UserNotLogged.wct, we want to disable the inclusion of    
   ERRORS.WCT at the top and also display the HTTP.HTTP.ERRORMSG display:   
      
   2) in http\public\login.wct, we want to add the inclusion of errors.wct    
   if cookie-based login is off.   
      
   This makes it 100% perfect and it also SOLVES the old complaint that    
   when the user clicks the LOGIN button on your home page, we get the    
   login form with the initial erroneous "Unauthorized access" message.   
      
   Now it is PERFECT and it works for ALL Modes:   
      
   - No more initial Unauthorized Error when you first   
      click LOGIN like many of you wanted, and   
      
   - It displays the proper error when the user cancels or   
      enters bad information.   
      
   PERFECT!   
      
   The AUP GAMMA server was updated with the two changes in WCWEBAUTH.ZIP.    
     Unzip it when you update.   
      
   Also, thanks to Rob Williams for finding a NT 4.0 RPC loading issue.    
   This is described in the AUP.CHM where the server was updated for    
   Windows XP/2003 Remote RPC related security issues.  The new RPC feature    
   added made the Wildcat! server fail to load under NT 4.0. That was also    
   fixed in the current gamma update since obviously NT 4.0 can't use the    
   new XP/2003 RPC security feature.  Thanks Rob!
