When logging in with Active Directory, the accounts used to show up just as their username was. Now, however it shows up as "DOMAIN\username". Anyone know of a way to force the login to be just the username?

It seems like the difference may be the client, as with an XP machine I had, it didn't do this, but my Win7 machine does.

I added the following to functions\functions_windows_authentication.asp around the 262 line and that fixed it for me...at least with Internet Explorer. Firefox is giving me issues though for some reason.

'Strip domain here:
    If InStr(strAuthenticatedUser, "\") Then
        strAuthenticatedUser = Right(strAuthenticatedUser, (Len(strAuthenticatedUser)-InStr(strAuthenticatedUser, "\")))
    End If

Yeah, I don't know what's up...I think this was all crappy cookie management or something. I deleted my cookies and it worked without the additional code.

Why are cookies even used?

Cookies are used to improve session tracking, without them the session tracking does not work so well.

You can prevent cookies being used by commenting the following lines out at the end of the functions_windows_authentication.asp file:-

'Write auto login cookie (can improve tracking for some browsers)
    Call setCookie("sLID", "UID", strAuthenticatedUser, True)
    Call setCookie("sLID", "NS", "0", True)
