Windows Authentication - mod ?

I altered version 6.x in about 20 minutes to work with Windows Authentication.

What I did was make change the code field in the author table to hold the NT password, then in the common.asp file where the cookie containing the users code is read in changed it to read in the NT password which was then matched up with the code field in the database.

This is the line I changed:-

'Read in users ID number from the cookie
'strLoggedInUserCode = Trim(Mid(Request.Cookies("Forum")("UserID"), 1, 44))

strLoggedInUserCode = Trim(Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER"))

boRG, no problem with changing the code but I don't grasp the meaning of "make change the code field in the author table to hold the NT password".

Any thanks for your forum, it looks good so far and was ready to set up,

yes. Search for ADSI at MSDN. Plenty of examples on interacting with Active Directory through code.

Make sure you have sufficient permissions and know what you are doing!

I must be missing something here because when I am using the Trim(Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")) the strLoggedInUserCode will contain the User's name but when using Trim(Mid(Request.Cookies("Forum")("UserID")  it contains the actual User_code you're using.

The part which confused me the most is when you're saying "users code is read in changed it to read in the NT password".

Well, all in all my question is that if anybody managed to get it working. Any clue welcome.
