  • If your Business Desk is based on the SupplierActiveDirectory Solution Site and AuthFilter is enabled, the authentication code will not allow you to view an image file. To preview an image file in Business Desk, you must enable anonymous access to any image file that is stored in the Business Desk virtual root folder. For information about enabling anonymous access, see "Enabling AuthFilter for the Supplier Solution Site" in Commerce Server 2002 Help.
