I'm new to this. We have Snitz Forums up and running (as of last week) on our Intranet and I would like for users to be able to use their NT account or at least password for logging in. Is this what the "Authorization Type - NT" is for?
If so, after I check that box and submit the new changes I get the following message:
"You have to enable non-Anonymous access for the forum on the server first"
What account do I need to do this for?

Although I'm new to Snitz Forums myself I imagine that for NT Authentication they use the session variable AUTH_USER.
Most likely through Request.ServerVariable(AUTH_USER).
Since you are almost certainly using IIS as your web-server you need to gain access with Administrative rights then:(on Win2K)
START --> Programs --> Administrative Tools --> Internet Services Manger.
Once open right click on the virtual directory that represents your forum web-site and select Properties.
In the porperties windows select the Directory Security tab.
Now click on Edit in the Anonymous Access & Authentications section.
Deselect Anonymous Access.
You may have to get the web-administrator to do this for you if you dont have admin access to the site yourself.

Thanks, that definitely helped get me started in the right direction. On my PC where I was previously logged into the forums as Admin, it setup an account using my NT authentication so I no longer need to login, it's already logged in when I open the Forum.
The problem I'm having now is getting other users setup. When a user opens the forums it tells them to register if they want to post. After they click on Register and agree to the license agreement, the next screen asks for the e-mail address and user name (below the user name it shows their NT user name and doesn't have an area for a password (as it shouldn't since it's using the NT account info.
Here is the problem: After they click submit they get the following error:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error 80004005
Field FORUM_MEMBERS.M_PASSWORD cannot be a zero-length string
/BulletinBoards/Snitz Forum/register.asp, line 295

I found resolution to this issue. I stumbled across another topic http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=25801 that addressed it in a similar fashion.
Basically I needed to modify the “FORUM_MEMBERS” table within the database and change the M.PASSWORD field to “Allow Zero Length”. I then did this for several of the fields within that table.
The logging in is working great now.

I just set my forum at work up and had the same problem. Followed your steps now it works.
Thanks
I wonder why they haven't changed the database?? Is it because those fields need a value???????
Hope not :)
