- user authentication was successful
- the licence verification was successful

After that, the user authentication and licence verification is successful every time I start the try.exe even there is no browser running at all. So an available IE cookie seems to be necessary.

That seems to be a cookie issue...
The remember me options stores a cookie to enable auto-login...
Please keep this info comming...
Firefox users should chek if they can "View Source Code" of the forum page, or have IE as their default browser...

Yes, because Cableguy is using a Browser control to check a web page and that control is based on IE.

It is, and I still can't get it to work (and I have the source code), I'll PM the details to Cableguy. It is probably a security issue. I am using Vista (Home Premium) and IE7. Has anyone with this combination got it to work?

I've testet this with my notebook with no success...

[Cableguy]

Some Info for the users who can't get this to work is posted on post#1...
I will be away for a few days, and probably only return to the forum the 1st of January...
But my PC is ON 24h/days, so I may apear as online...

[Cableguy]

Well...
I can only say that I am running WnXP SP2, IE7, FF3, B4PPC6.5, .NET3.5 SDK...
And All Works like a charm...So I will Stick to this procedure as a starting point and refine...Perhaps later along the way a better way of user authentication may be available...

[Cableguy]

I think I have found a workable solution that will enable any browser to properly authenticate the Username AND Password...
But I need more testing and IF THERE IS SOME HTML/PHP EXPERT OUT THERE WILLING TO HELP ME OUT, IT WILL BE MOST APRECIATED...
Hope to have a working solution for the authentication issue this weekend..

Hi Paulo,

Using:
FireFox 3.0.5 (I don't use IE)
Win XP SP2

I have Cookies accepted for basic4ppc.com and I am able to view the page source HTML.

However, the authentication does not work.

Thanks Mr_Gee...

I got my html bit working, now I only need to include some "online" info in it...
I now have a working "transparent" Forum login procedure that is almost FullProof...
I've now started working on some registry lookups/setups wich will be used instead of the ini file..
For now the grafical UI will be as basic as I can get, with all working features, But I will try to add a module to enable user themes...
I just don't have the time to speed this app progress as much as I would like, but after this first issues are of the way, everything else will be simpler to discuss/make it work...

New Working Authentication procedure to test on Post#1...
Please PM me if you want to have a peek at the source...and if you are a registered user of Basic4ppc...

PLEASE GIVE SOME FEEDBACK EITHER IF IT WORKED FOR YOU OR NOT...
