Anyone know if Snitz will run "out of the box" on a Load Balanced Server Farm? (i.e. Session Variables are not valid anymore)
I see Snitz uses mainly cookies and I will continue to use the standard cookie mode... But I can't use session variables.

The main reasons why this was not posted at Snitz and why I might not post the bugs I find
directly at Snitz anymore are the ways "ruirib and HuwR" take pleasure to criticize just about
anything I post and seem to resent the fact that I want to improve and correct Snitz which, I agree,
serve as the original base for my own Forum.

These are some of the actions I find unacceptable:
ruirib and HuwR take fun to Delete some of my topics, of my replies, locked or move my topic.

A topic posted last week from me to Davio in "Help: MOD Implementation" Forum as been deleted.

Two replies in my topic as been deleted about a bug on snitz topic page:

Snitz uses application and session variables.

The only problem you should have is keeping logged in to the admin area. You would have to make code alterations in order to stay logged in to that section only. Normal users shouldn't have a problem.

I don't think the application variables will cause a problem. They will be loaded by each server if they are not loaded into memory already.

Yep, I admit so, but the admin login process will have to be changed, I guess, unless you remove the second authentication. I'm not sure either, but I think the Jump To drop-down also uses a session variable, or at least it used to do that...

Snitz would work out of the box if you're using W2003 network load balancing and enable the client affinity feature. This way the same web server will serve all requests from the same client session.

Thank you all for your replies.

I am in the middle of a massive site rewrite and I am trying to learn from my past mistakes.
I am also trying to log into Snitz from a directory server (LDAP) - external to the website.

I have found an ASP routine to use the client's IP and login time to to generate a "Session"
value within SQL Server. Since I am using ASP classic, I have to do it this way.

I am using ASPMaker for other pieces of my site and it is very Session Variable heavy,
but I think I can modify it's code to achieve my SQL Server Session storage... The only
remaining piece for me is the Snitz Forum.

Since the Forum code can get very hard to follow.... I either hoped it would work right out of
the box, or I would have to find a single ASP server that isn't on a server farm for running my site.
(As I am doing now....)

It appeared that in Snitz when using cookies, if a session was found to be empty - would attempt to retrieve the
session value from the cookie...

As for the admin area... I can authenticate to that using a different method. I'll use the session SQL server storage
for that piece, validating the user's login against a table of authorized admins.

p.s. If anyone has any advice on using an external authentication system (which once logged in, will generate the appropriate
Snitz cookie) that will auto login the user to Snitz - please pass it on! :-)

Thanks!
