What's the best way to allow users to only be set-up by the administrator - no self-registered users?

My organisation want to try out the Forum for Safety Related discussions. We don't want users to register with any name other than their network login name - we can't ensure that they'll all follow instructions to do this so we need a way for them to request, maybe via e-mail to have a Forum account set-up and then for an admin to set them up using their correct username and e-mail.

I can Suspend Registration which prevents users from self-registering, and I guess I'll need to change the code to display a "Request Registration" e-mail link instead of the "Sorry, new registrations are currently suspended..." message and finally amend the admin user registration page to send a registration confirmation e-mail, to prevent false registration requests.

Or is there an easier way I'm missing?

If you only want them with their network login just install the Windows Authentication Mod....

Thanks for this. I've looked in the Web Wiz Forum download  http://www.webwiz.net/web_wiz_forums/forum_download.as p?mode=asp but can't find a download link for the Windows Authentication Mod. I looked in the Mod Forum but wasn't sure what the "official" mod link was?

You need to look in the mods and add-ons forum as the authentication mod is written by a third party and not be web wiz guide.

OK. I think I've found it and I've got a sneaky feeling it involves lots of changes to lots of files.

Is there any possibility you'll be adding Integrated Windows Authentication in a future release before I start modding your already excellent forum?

Now all I've got to do is convince our fairly starchy organisation that the benefits of a forum are tangible - a tough nut to crack indeed!
