When using NT authentication, is there a way to change the password of a user if they are an admin without manually editing the database? This being because even though they are an admin and are authenticated through NT, they are still prompted for a user name and password in the admin section of the board. I find that everytime I edit my profile (admin account), I have to go into the database and edit it to put my password back in...

I simply changed the entire contents of my ADMIN_LOGIN.ASP file to detect whether the user is an admin or not:




<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="33%" align="left" nowrap>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>">
<a href="default.asp"><img src="icon_folder_open.gif" alt="All Forums" height=15 width=15 border="0"> All Forums</a> 
<img src="icon_blank.gif" height=15 width=15 border="0"><img src="icon_blank.gif" height=15 width=15 border="0"><img src="icon_folder_open_topic.gif" alt="Admin Login" height=15 width=15 border="0"> Admin Login 
</td>
</tr>
</table>
" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"> 
 

<% if mlev = 4 then %>
" size="<% =strHeaderFontSize %>">Login was successful!
<% Session(strCookieURL & "Approval") = "15916941253" %>
" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><a href="admin_home.asp" target="_top">Click here to Access.</a>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=admin_home.asp">


<% else %>

<center>

" size="<% =strHeaderFontSize %>">You must be an administrator!

" size="<% =strHeaderFontSize %>">You are not allowed access.

" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>">If you think you have reached this message in error, please try again.

</center>

<% end if %>

I noticed a permission problem when changing the authentication type from "NT" to "DB", so I changed the following in ADMIN_CONFIG_SYSTEM.ASP:

change:

if (Request.Form("strAuthType") <> strAuthType) and strAuthType = "nt" then
mLev = cint(ChkUser2(Request.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Name"), Request.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Pword")))
if not(mLev = 4 and getMemberNumber(Request.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Name")) = 1) then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>Only the Admin user can change the Authentication type of the board</li>"

to:

if (Request.Form("strAuthType") <> strAuthType) and strAuthType = "nt" then
if not(mLev = 4) then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>Only the Admin user can change the Authentication type of the board</li>"
