The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0
- Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Clients may be redirected to the Password change .htr page, stating that their
password is about to expire in (x) # of days, even though these accounts have
the Password does not expire option set. This includes the local or domain
administrator accounts. This problem only happens when BASIC authentication is
used.
This issue has also occurred with accounts that do not have the Password does not
expire option set, and the password is not about to expire.
CAUSE
=====
A pointer containing the last users expiration information is not always cleared
for the next request. All other account information is correctly updated.
WORKAROUND
==========
To workaround this issue, use NTLM instead of Basic authentication.
RESOLUTION
==========
IIS 4.0
