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.... ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Thanks for this. I've looked in the Web Wiz Forum download http://www.webwiz.net/web_wiz_forums/forum_download.asp?mode=asp - 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! |
