Further to this last post, as I'm getting quite a few emails, the c++ tag requires a Win32 platform and the novell client installed (it does not need to be logged into novell) on the server as it calls some of the libraries installed with the client. Instructions on the tag are -: Add the tag and call it like this -: <cfx_nwpasscheck nwuserid="#nwuserid#" nwpassword="#ndspassword#"> nwuserid is the full nds username - username and context, ie mine here at health is RHIGG.DGEN.NorthSydney.NSWHEALTH nwpassword is the users NDS password. The variable returned is called NWPassOkay which is a boolean. I test like so -: <cfif NWPassOkay is "True"> And that is it. The dll can be found here in zipped format -: http://www3.health.nsw.gov.au/nwpasscheck.zip No guarantees, warranties or any responsibility taken if you choose to use it.
