I have an issue with HMC 4.5 (which was also apparent in HMC 4.0) - I have changed the configuration of my WSS servers to use Forms Authenitication rather than Windows. I have tested connecting and logging in and all is o.k. but..
When I try to provision a new WSS site for a customer via the Sample UI I recieve the error below. If I swap the Authentication back to Windows and complete the same action it provisions fine.
I was just wondering whether anyone had seen this before and if so is it that I can only use Windows Authentication or is there a method to get Forms to work with HMC?

Hi
I am assuming after 119 views but no answers that what I am trying to do is not possible or do I need to post this to another area on this site?
Thanks
