Interdev , Visual Source Safe, and Anonymous User

I recently changed the anonymous user account through IIS on the server that
hosts my interdev project. I also had to add the anonymous user to Source
Safe ( now when I check in/out pages the anonymous user is showing as the
entity performing the check in/out).

1. Is there a way to map the check in/out that appears in Source Safe to my
personal VSS name or am I stuck with this always showing as the anonymous
user?

2. Although most of the projects appear to integrate successfully with
Source Safe, there are a few others that do not appear to be operating
correctly. Most notably, you are able to check out through interdev, the
page will show as checked out ( by the anonymous user) in VSS, but in the
Interdev explorer the page will still display the lock icon and the code
will not load into the Interdev environment. Has anyone encountered this
before? My understanding is that Interdev goes through Front Page Server
Extensions and I think there may be  a permissions issue between Interdev
and the Extensions that was not rectified when the anonymous user was
changed. Any pointers?

Thanks

You can use the IIS Manager and disallow anonymous access to the folder
containing the Interdev project.
IIS will then use your Windows' username to make the web accesses. Also,
make sure you have created matching user names for the VSS database so
FrontPage can access the VSS files.

You're right. Interdev talks with FPSE and FP uses COM and IVss automation
interface to perform source control operations on files.
VSS caches file statuses and this might be a reason why you're checking out
files in IIS manager but you don't see the changes immediately in Interdev.
Other possible reason might be that anonymous user has a working folder set
and it checks out the files in a different working folder than the temporary
folder used as a cache by Interdev.
