Frontpage: Authentication failure for “/_vti_bin/_vti_aut/author.exe”

Hello,

If you are getting above mentioned erron in your apache error logs then try following that may solve your problem. The reason behind it is ‘syncing’ of passwords between Cpanel/WHM and FrontPage. It usually happens when you change the cpanel password and when it wont reflect in /home/username/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd file.

Now fixed it looks as such
# -FrontPage-
username:passwordhash

Just check its encryption code of the password with the one in /etc/shadow for that user.

If it do not match then just replace that. Make sure to take the backup of your /home/username/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd file before doing ant changes in it.

Enjoy..
