Using v 3.4.05.

NOTE: I have mod'ed my Code slightly so the lines might be off by a few.

I have my forum set to DB Authentication. I also have an Admin account that has both M_NAME and M_USERNAME set to "Administrator".

I am able to Login as Administrator no problem. (Because M_NAME and M_USERNAME are Identical.)

However... All other users fail Login. I traced this down to the following section in the Config.ASP (Lines ~ 398-404)

if strAuthType = "db" then
strDBNTSQLName = "M_NAME"
strAutoLogon = "0"
strNTGroups = "0"
else
strDBNTSQLName = "M_USERNAME"
end if

I believe the M_NAME and M_USERNAME are swapped. By switching them everything appears to be working fine.

if strAuthType = "db" then
strDBNTSQLName = "M_USERNAME"
strAutoLogon = "0"
strNTGroups = "0"
else
strDBNTSQLName = "M_NAME"
end if

If you are not using NT authentication, you should not even use M_USERNAME. That field is only to be used with NT Auth. So, it's not a bug, since your problem happens because you use a field in a way it was not meant to be used.

Yes, it is correct the way it is.

M_NAME is the field used by DB authentication, M_USERNAME by NT authentication.

Alot of people would have experienced problems if this wouldn't be set up right.
