    Posted: 27 October 2006 at 6:11pm
I've installed Web Wiz using Windows Authentication, and user logins seem to be working fine.
 
I'm having a problem logging into the system as an Adminstrator tho.  Before I set Windows Authentication, I set myself to the Admin group.  But when I turn on Windows Authentication, I can't log into the admin control panel!
 
(It auto-populates with my AD-username, but won't let me use my network password to login)
 
I also can't login as the original Administrator account either since it autopopulates the username for me.
 
Is there anyway to get around/fix this?

Found a work-around -
In the admin.asp, at line 243, change:

If an admin anyway don't let em re-type in their username
If intGroupID = 1 Then
 
 Response.Write(strLoggedInUsername & "<input type=""hidden"" name=""name"" id=""name"" value=""" & strLoggedInUsername & """ />")  

Else text box to write in username as well
Else
    Response.Write("<input type=""text"" name=""name"" id=""name"" size=""15"" maxlength=""15"" />")

End If

to:
 
'If an admin anyway don't let em re-type in their username
'If intGroupID = 1 Then
 
' Response.Write(strLoggedInUsername & "<input type=""hidden"" name=""name"" id=""name"" value=""" & strLoggedInUsername & """ />")  
'Else text box to write in username as well
'Else
    Response.Write("<input type=""text"" name=""name"" id=""name"" size=""15"" maxlength=""15"" />")
'End If
 
This will let you re-enter the Administrator username and password to login.

The recommend way to do this, as this can course other issues, is that you point your browser directly at the admin login page 'admin.asp' and login directly to the admn area.

Actually, I tried that first, but I needed the work-around because it would not let me login as someone (the Administrator) because I am using windows authentication.
 
It might be because I had set myself up in the 'admin' group (intGroupId = 1) so it wouldn't let me login as someone else...?

I think you are missing my point, when windows authentication is enabled you need to login directly to the admin section as the forum admin as this section is suppurate to the main forum and is not running under windows authentication.
