As many have posted before, I too am having issues with the NT login aspect of Snitz. I have a corporate intranet and just want to save all the employees the hassle of registering on the board. Nothing fancy, just get them in and allow them to post, etc.
Here is my problem and I am hoping someone can help.
Clean install of the board. Ran setup.asp and everything is fine. Went to the default page and it came up and was asking me to Login in the upper right. This is how the clean install is supposed to work - so far, so good.
Logged in as Admin and did not change a thing except for the Auth type - from db to nt. Next screen shows my NT login name (username). Still fine.
Go to another machine that is logged in as a regular domain user and connect to site. Screen comes up and has a "Please register to post..." on the upper right-hand corner. So, we have to got through the reg process, even though we are authenticating (hmmm..ok). register and it works fine.
Go back in as Admin and enable NTAUTOLOGIN - sounds like it should help with our problem, right? I did NOT enable NTGROUPS.
Go to another machine, connect to the site with a new user id, and WHAM! Error:
0x80040E07
Data Type Mismatch in criteria expression
/forum/register.asp line 569
I can reproduce this all day long when I have NT autologin enabled. Turn it off - the error goes away.
Turn on NT Groups - doesn't seem to have any effect on registration, posts, anything. (another hmmm)
I am running W2k SP3, IIS5, and an Access DB. I check the forum variables and my username, domain, etc all show up.
Does anyone have any ideas on this? |

Thanks Nikkol - it appears to have fixed it.
There is a way to pull the email address from a server variable from AD - I've just got to figure out what it is, assign it a variable in the forum and populate the email addres in the DB? Sound right?
Your the best. |

For AD you can use the following to get the email:
(just an example, you'll need to figure out what to actually put there based on your server)
set oUser = GetObject("LDAP://servername/cn=username,dc=companyname,dc=com")
strEmail = oUser.EmailAddress
set oUser = Nothing |

Thanks Nikkol-
Sorry for not being the sharpest with Snitz, but can you tell me where I need to insert that code to make it all work?
Thanks much. |

i would assume somewhere in register.asp ... i don't use nt auth so i'm not really sure.
I can check later, just remind me. |

Okay here goes.
In inc_profile.asp, line 73 looks like:
if strMode <> "Register" then Response.Write(rs("M_EMAIL"))
make it this:
if strMode <> "Register" then
Response.Write(rs("M_EMAIL"))
else
set oUser = GetObject("LDAP://servername/cn=" & Session(strCookieURL & "userid") & ",dc=companyname,dc=com")
strEmail = oUser.EmailAddress
set oUser = Nothing
Response.Write(rs("M_EMAIL"))
end ifBe sure to replace servername and companyname for your server. An example would be this: say your doman name was sales.widgets.com, then the last part of that string would be ,dc=sales,dc=widgets,dc=com.
After that, find line 89 which looks like:
" <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><input name=""Email3"" size=""25"" maxLength=""50"" value=""""></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
Make it look like: " <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><input name=""Email3"" size=""25"" maxLength=""50"" value=""" & strEmail & """></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
I can't be sure that will do it. Make a backup copy of inc_profile.asp before you start and tell me how it goes.
