When installing and setting NT Authentication on, and also disable the group setting with version Snitz Forums 2000 v3.4.04 there is a bug going.
When a new NT-user logs into the forum, the pages default.asp and register.asp are repeatedly following each other and the username (NT-name) of the user is continuously entered into FORUM_MEMBERS. After the user is added about 50 times with the same M_NAME, IIS throws an IIS-error. Anyway, the bug is, that M_USERNAME is not filled.
I found out that changing a line of code solves the bug so that NT-authentication works and that users do not have to register to the forum.
In [register.asp] from lines 455, I changed:
if strAuthType = "nt" then strSql = strSql & ", " & "'" & chkString(strNTUserFullName,"SQLString") & "'" end if
to:
if strAuthType = "nt" then strSql = strSql & ", '" & chkString(Session(strCookieURL & "strNTUserFullName"),"SQLString") & "'" end if
Which solved this bug... I hope the developers of Snitz appreciate this contribution.
I'm not sure what Hace is talking about. I registered as a new user and logged in ok using nt authourization. I can't even find the code he is reffering to, in the register.asp file, from the 3.4.04 version.
The closest I come to his code is line 440 - 442:
if strAuthType = "nt" then
strSql = strSql & ", " & "'" & chkString(strDBNTUserName,"SQLString") & "'"
end if
But he has strNTUserFullName in his code.
Maybe he modified his code previously? I'm unable to reproduce this.
