I would like to try Web Wiz on a secure site. Is it possible to have Web Wiz use Windows Authentication rather than having users log onto the site, then onto the board?

It is possible and there is a mod in the mod forum to do this.

I did it myself once a few years ago, it's quite simple and just requires that you change the common.asp files to get user details from the authentication server instead of from a cookie.

You will have to change some of the data in the database to match with the windows authentication usernames and passwords.

Thank you for the replies.

Has anyone developed an updated mod that will work?
