IIS in an AD as a member server and extending FrontPage

I need to find out if this is possible. I have an Windows 2003 AD
environment with two member servers (W2003 WSE) that server out public
and private websites. I need to extend sites on one of the member
servers for FrontPage. This function works and the site shows as
extended and manageable through IIS manager. I create a user account
on either the local server as a local account, OR as a domain user in
AD and make them members of the OWS group (a local group on the member
server - created when the site is extended) and neither will
authenticate through FrontPage. Is there a different procedure I can
use to make this work? The web servers are both WSE, so I cannot make
them domain controlers.

Thank you

Yup, you are in the wrong place.

You want the "SharePoint Administrator" service (available as a web page
shortcut in Control Panel)

In there is a web interface (the same one you used to extend the site) where
you can add and remove users on individual sites.

Only when you do that will the permissions happen correctly.

Excellent! Worked perfectly, thank you!

I have noticed that once you start using SharePoint Administrator you cannot
use NTFS permissions any more for the webs, they do not play well together.
