I know this was already posted about however it was a little unclear for a newbie like me.....I was wondering what I have to do to make my forum authenticate with Active Directory and auto register all the users. Right now I it with NT Authentication and it picks up there user name but it still requires them to click on register because it does not pull there email......thanks guys
1. First if you are using IIS then you will need to ensure that in your Virtual Directory that Anonymous Access is not checked.
2. Have you set the NT Features Configuration in Admin Options so that Autologon is on? If not, do so.
3. You may also have to take a trip to your database as I believe that (if your using Access) some of the fields in the Members table still have it set that Zero length fields are not allowed. All non number fields should be set so that zero lengths are allowed. If you don't reset these fields then when you get Autologon working you will only be able to register 1 person, then the next would get a fault. This is due to their e-mail addresses being identical (they would both be blank) and so the page would throw an error.
4. Read http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=34873. Halfway down the topic you will see a message from Nikkol (dated 18 September). It's pretty important as their is an NT bug in the register.asp file that hasn't been updated yet.
Simply make the changes in the Directory Security tab of IIS, the NT Features are of Admin Options, alter your database as directed and read the topic and change register.asp and you should be able to get it working.
There are other topics here that have addressed this. But the easiest way is for them to enter the profile area (or have a redirect once registered) so that they can enter their own e-mail address.
