Hi, everybody.
 
An usefull functionality are a AUTHENTICATION integrated with LDAP
 
Using IIS Server authentication and pass credentials to Forum application.
 
The forum application validate that credentials and verify inside theirs profiles witch are the ROLE assignated.
 
In that way Forum Application can use LDAP exchange mail integration.
Using IIS Authentication to get mail account in Active Directory.
 
Can this be possible ?
Regards.

If you accomplish LDAP Authentication, how to register new members to forum ? forum store usernames and passwords in the database. LDAP authentication may not possible. But if you using Jmail Pro as mail component, you can improve WWF, users can sent posts via send email. This is possible. This is only Jmail Pro 4 component.

New members can authenticate using the same password in Active Directory (does not need to authenticate 2 times) one in windows machine, other in web application (WebWizForum).
 
What  i try to say,  it's : 
1) can authentication be possible using IIS (integration with Active Directory)
 
2) after IIS authentication, server variables have a user session like:
                    domainName\userID
 
3) with that "domainName\userID" can application (webwizforum) get eMail account from active directory ?
 
2) If Forum get the eMail's account from Active Directory and
       2.a) if new => save their profile in database.
       2.b) if exist and diferent then actualize database settings 
       2.c) if exist and equal => maintain database settings
 
If WebWizForum do that, if very interessing INTRANET users does not necessary authentication.
 
Becouse aplication WebWizForum see server variables and see inside their profiles what matching are must to do.
 
Just my opinion.

It can be done, you just need to modify the common.asp file that does the user tacking to read from the server.

I did it before by simply modifying the User_code field in tblAuthor to hold the users IIS authentication (domainName\userID)

Then in the common.asp file I removed the cookie tacking login and replaced it some code that got the users IIS authentication and matched it up with the User_code field in the database.

You could go further than this and have code that would also adds new users to the database.

Once version 8 is out, if I get some spare time, I hoping to write some mods for the software, one of them, hopefully being something along these lines.

The problem is that it just impossible to add everything to the software, and even if I managed to the software would have so much ocde it just wouldn't run very well.
