I am using NT Auth. on a Win2k3 server as well, and I've just made sure that the two were the same. Its been a while since I last dug through, but if memory serves, the registration process for everyone outside of the initial setup should put the same name for both anyway.<
Not that I'm aware of. Its something I've been meaning to look into but the only place to work on it is at work - where I'm interrupted by "emergency" projects, that have been interrupted by "really emergency" projects, that have been interrupted by "no, this is the reallytrueultimate emergency"... I've been bouncing from "emergency" project to "emergency" project like a ping-pong ball in a clothes drier - so much so that when I was asked what my 6-month goals were I almost answered "try like hell to not get fired". =/
would it be possible to set the m_username = m_name(m_username)? that when the user gets automatically registered at the beginning, his snitz forums username is a mix of m_name and m_username. or is that not possible because the m_username variable is checked at each login with the AUTH_USER variable?
another way; edit the post.asp that instead of the m_username it shows a self defined SQL entry which contains the users fullname. the sql entry was filled at the registration.
