Project Server Connection Problem - Very Strange Behaviour

T

Tinkicka

We have MS Project Server running successfully with a number of people as a
trial. They can connect to the Server and view all of the things that we want
them to view. They can use MS Project to interact with the server and update
the projects.

When I try to connect to the server through MS Project, I get the "Project
Server Security Logon" screen frame with the centre empty and it sounds like
I am repeatedly and rapidly clicking on a screen button somewhere. No matter
where I click I cannot stop this behaviour and I have to use task manager to
close down project.

I can view the server through IE with no problems and the test connection
button reveals that it is all OK. The server lives on our network and is not
accessed through any firewalls etc...

Has anyone seen this behaviour before and any suggestions?

I've seen this and executed a network analyzer against this problem.

The reason why this occurs is there is a circular and inifinite redirect
from a set of ASP pages. This sometimes can happen if the session can not
get started, so it continues to try until it succeeds - clearly, it never
does.

The best way to avoid this is to check the permissions of your pages. To
determine which pages Project Professional is hitting, run a protocol
analyzer and isolate all HTTP requests with Ethereal or some other sniffer.
