Hi everyone, I am running 3.4.03 on an NT box with a SQL backend. I have multiple domains with accounts in each domain. My problem is that there are a few users with the same username in different domains.
Domain1\JoeS -->Joe Smith Domain2\JoeS -->Joe Schneider
Two different guys, but when they autoregister, it lists the first guy as the second guy. I haven't seen the second guy listed as the first guy yet.
I noticed that Line 1078 in inc_func_common.asp is pulling the AUTH_USER parameter from the NT Challenge and goes on to remove the domain information from the strNTUser.
sub NTAuthenticate()
dim strUser, strNTUser, checkNT
strNTUser = Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")
strNTUser = replace(strNTUser, "\", "/")
if Session(strCookieURL & "userid") = "" then
strUser = Mid(strNTUser,(instr(1,strNTUser,"/")+1),len(strNTUser))
Session(strCookieURL & "userid") = strUser
end if
I would like to keep the domain for the username so the system would recognize that there are 2 different people.
I'll try that. Thanks for the info. What I am really trying to do is have the forum make a distinction between the two accounts. If it recognizes that the two accounts are different, by some other means then that would work fine. I'll try it out.
This left the line alone without causing any major problems. I know this isn't the best/cleanest way to get this to work, but it seems to be doing what I expect it to do. I'll update this post if it blows up. Thanks for the help.
I found out that the reason why it didn't work is due to this line
Set strNTUserInfo = GetObject("WinNT://"+strNTUser)
If the slash is left as \ then the code above won't work to pull the users info. By switching it to / and leaving it in there, the system does a check for WinNT://Domain/Account.
Removing the line would do WinNT://Domain\Account and that clearly was where the error came from. It seems to be working now...for real this time!
