I am using the forum on an Intranet, running NT Authentification on an NT4/IIS Server using ver3.1sr4.
When a new user visits the forum if they don't click on 'Profile' and insert their email address the next new user who tries to visit gets a message telling them their password is already in use. This seems to be because the first new users password field in the database is blank, and the second new users password field is also blank in that they havent had a chance to input a valid one.
Have I set something up wrong?, is it possible for the forum to get the users passwords from the Exchange server so they don't have to input them themselves. I can't rely on everyone who visits adding thier email address to thier profile and this seems like such an obvious problem that it seems to me its probably of my own making!!

I run this board in a very large multiple domain environment without any problems. I leave the NT Autologon feature turned off, but the authentication type set to NT. This forces new users to register their accounts and submit their first name, last name, email address, etc.


BTW: If you have multiple domains in your environment, I suggest you read my posts at the following topic:

Tried that, works nicely now, thanks for your help. With regard to the Muliple Domains, I would have had the same problem so have implemented your revised code, thanks again.

I'm not sure what he was refering to with the password problem. I don't use the Autologon feature because it leaves the email address field empty. Also, if the user is logged in with an account that doesn't have their name in it (like a service account), you get it as a registered account on the board. I don't like the idea of registering an account for every NT account that graces the board. I don't see how you are going to pull down an email address unless you make a connection to Exchange or something...

All of my users have Exchange accounts as well. That would be pretty dang spiffy if you can cook it up to pull addresses from Exchange.

Has anyone figured out how to do this yet? I've started working on something, but I'm new to LDAP and my ADSI/LDAP book is all over the place...
