Determines if native NT authentication is used for user's access.
Remarks
This property allows you to let your OS determine if client supplied valid login/password/domain combination and therefore he can access your system. When set to
True (from inside
UserAuthenticate event), you CAN check if provided
Login/
Password/
Domain and allow access if you want to - but you can also ignore that event (just set this property to
True).
wodWebServer can authenticate user even using NT domain controller - it depends on your OS handles authentication, based on
Domain property setting. Authentication will work both for
AuthBasic and
AuthNTLM authentication values. For example, idea is to allow user '
joe' with password '
joe' to connect as guest to local system. There is no '
joe' account defined on the system - but it is not important at all. You will check by yourself if user enter proper login and password, and then just give control to wodWebServer to give guest credentials to the client.
For example, you could use code like this:
Private Sub Http1_UserAuthenticate(ByVal User As WODWEBSERVERCOMLib.IWebUser, ByVal AuthType As WODWEBSERVERCOMLib.WebAuthenticationTypes, Action As WODWEBSERVERCOMLib.WebActions)
If Login = "joe" And Password = "joe" Then
Action = Allow
User.UseNTAuthentication = True
User.Login = "guest"
User.Password = "guestpassword"
Else
Action = Deny
End If
End Sub
and if valid login and pass are entered - you will provide proper account credentials to the system to login him as guest.
Also, you don't have to check login and password at all, let OS do it for you. Use code like this:
Private Sub Http1_UserAuthenticate(ByVal User As WODWEBSERVERCOMLib.IWebUser, ByVal AuthType As WODWEBSERVERCOMLib.WebAuthenticationTypes, Action As WODWEBSERVERCOMLib.WebActions)
Action = Allow
User.UseNTAuthentication = True
End Sub
don't think this will let everyone to connect (because we Allowed access). This only means you will allow system to check provided
Login and
Password (they are already stored as User.Login and User.Password properties. You can optionally set User.Domain if you want to test credentials using your domain controller. That's all!
