I would like to work with WebWizForums on my local machine.

I am relatively new to ASP so I hope this isn't too stupid a question.

My local machine database server is JoelJr

The WebMatrix installation I selected uses Windows Authentication.

How do I edit the 'SQL_server_connection.asp' file to allow usage on my local machine?

If you want to use WIndows Auth. for the forum you need to change your connection string to something like:
data source=ip_or_servername;integrated security=sspi;database=forumdb
Though the IUSR_Machinename account needs to be setup in the SQL then so it had select, update and insert rights.....

Hi,
Windows Authentication has been discussed in two threads but neither seems to describe my aim, which is to avoid having the user complete the login if they are already logged in as a valid user on the Windows NT domain. Say, the forum is integrated within a portal which requires the user to log in as a NT user. When the user does something eg post a reply, which would normally open the login page, I want their existing NT login to be accessed and their username to be used throughout the forum. If they try to do something which would normally open a login page and they are not logged in then they will be prompted for a login. How close can I get to this with minimal changes to the forum?

This requires a change to the log in script of the forum code.

There have been many, many posts made throughout the world...
This was one of them.

Hey ScottM, I am trying to get the same thing done too.

I am new to asp so if I need some help.

i have asp code which, when you pass the username and password will authenticate. I dont know if just inserting this in to the login script would work.

Bunce!!! if you can tell us what changes should we do to the script it will be very help full.

This allows for automatic authenication and registation of a user based on their Windows user login.
