Hello! I have a problem with AAM in a sharepoint site. The site is at http:\\Server:7746\Subsite and assigned an AAM http:\\Portal with your DNS settings accordingly. When the user enters the address http:\\Portal\Subsite, the system displays an error message access denied (within the sharepoint site). However, when accessed by http:\\Server:7746\Subsite does not give access denied message. What surprises me the case, doing a test, is that if I enter http:\\Portal\Subsite\_layouts\Settings.aspx (site settings), it works Ok (with all layouts pages). I replicated the same scenario in out testing environment and it work ok in all variants. Does anyone did something similar using AAM? How I can solve it? Thank you.

Maybe there are errors in your text above, but I spot two things. 1.You are using back slashes instead of forward slashes for your AAM definition. 2. Your AAM definition says that http://Portal is equivalent to http://Server:7746/Subsite. In that case when you access http://Portal/Subsite you are attempting to access http://Server:7746/Subsite/Subsite which clearly doesn't exist and therefore you are getting access denied. 2010 Books: SPF 2010; SPS 2010; SPD 2010; InfoPath 2010; Workflow etc. 2007 Books: WSS 3.0; MOSS 2007; SPD 2007; InfoPath 2007; PerformancePoint; SSRS; Workflow Both lists also include books in French; German; Spanish with even more languages in the 2007 list.

Hi Mike, thanks for your response. I checked the two points that you entered into your response to me and they are Ok. What I am not at all clear, is why a user with administrator may enter without problems to pages layouts, but not to the standard pages (eg home pages and editing lists). Do I have something misconfigured? Regards, Sebastian .-

Just a suggestion - in IIS verify that the Website that hosts the site on port 7746 also has a host header value (ie "portal") and port 80 entry for the AAM you specified.

Thanks Georg. But the configuration is Ok. Looking at the log file and comparing it with the testing environment (it works ok) and reading the next error: PermissionMask check failed. asking for 0x08000000, have 0x00000000 Comparing with the testing environment, at this point, WSS look at the "Site Settings" permissions. Any idea? Thanks.
