how to force a site to be a trusted site in Internet Explorer 2

[mkamoski]

All--

Please help.

I cannot open my MS Project file and connect it to my Project Web Access location in order to publish changes. I can work with the file locally; but, I cannot publish changes. Ug.

When I open the MS Project file locally, I am prompted as follows...

You cannot log in to the Project Server

http://johnappd06/ProjectServer

because you have not identified

http://johnappd06/ProjectServer

as a trusted site in Internet Explorer. To continue, you should make the site

http://johnappd06/ProjectServer

a trusted site in Internet Explorer.

...and when I try to make the site trusted in IE, the changes will not stick.

We are on a LAN, behind a corporate firewall. We do have certain aspects of our browsers locked down; for example, we have a mandatory home page that is automatically set for us and we cannot change. However, I do know that it is possible for some on our team to publish to the project site. Unfortunately, it does not work on my machine. The corporate Tech Support folks did give us a registry fix; but, it did not work.

Note that according to >Help, >About, this is "Microsoft Office Project Professional 2003 (11.2.2005.1801.15) SP2". We are using IE 6.0.2900.2180.

I am a member of the local machine's Administrator group; but, I simply cannot find a workaround.

Can you help?

What can be done?

Is there a way to forcibly set a site as trusted, perhaps via the Registry?

What do you think?

Please advise.

Thank you.

I'm not a server guy but your answers to the following bunch of questions may point you in the right direction in discussing it with your people

1. Does the problem occur after you exit/restart IE?
2. Does it happen only after a logout/login?
3. Does it happen only after a reboot?
4. The person who can do this successfully -- with your project or another one? after accessing the network by logging in on your machine using his/her credentials?

Wish I could help more.

I was having this problem, this worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.

Under tools - enterprise options - Microsoft office project user accounts

you will see my computer and the account for your project server (if you do not see your server as an avaliable account then add it) then set that as default.

you will also see 2 different login options. we have it set as windows authentication so that when you log into windows you are already verified to log into project. Once we had set the account to default we stopped getting that error.

Hopefully it will work for you!

PDQBach--

(1) Yes. An exit and restart of IE does not help.

(2) No. It happens all the time. Logout/Login has no effect.

(3) No. It happens all the time. Rebooting has no effect.

(4) This is something that I have not tried. I should try it. It is good idea for an experiment. I will check it out ASAP.

Thank you.

I appreciate the good idea.

Unfortunately, I tried that experiment and it did not help.

I tried all permutations of those settings and I just double-checked them.

No luck. Oh well.

Please let me know if you have any other thoughts.

Thank you.

I had another computer that just had this problem! Honestly by just I mean 5 mins ago and I was able to get it to work. I went into IE and made the site trusted and then retried it and still nothing just as you described. So finally I decided to make the site trusted, close out of project, re-open project and try to view RISKS (under collaborate tab). It worked! So, I guess try and make the site

trusted close out of everything and then re-open project and try again.

It's worth a try!
