Does the user display OK on the system page, I see something like Domain\\Username.. not a big issue, as the AD stuff is OK, but slightly odd.
Anybody else have this issue?

I concur,

I really do not like the "\\" between the domain name and username.

Can this be reverted back to "\" instead?

Thanks

Jason

That's odd... I do not get the \\ between the user name and domain... I only get \... In fact with out this I was like the rest in this thread and I was getting DOMAINNAMEusername jumbled together without a \... And now the links to get the LDAP info for the user work perfectly...

Could this be an issue between linux and windows servers?? My Open-Audit is running on windows... What are you \\ people running it on??

W2k3 SP2 / IIS 6 / PHP 5.2.1 and I have the double backslash issue...
Only those of you having the DOMAINusername issue (no backslash between domain and username), please try this:
- set in your running php.ini
[code]
magic_quotes_runtime = On
[/code]
- restart your web service
- revert audit.vbs to the original
[code]
form_input = "system01^^^" & clean(net_ip_address) & "^^^" & clean(net_domain) _
& "^^^" & clean(net_user_name) & "^^^" & clean(net_client_site_name) _
& "^^^" & clean(Replace(net_domain_controller_address, "\\", "")) & "^^^" & clean(Replace(net_domain_controller_name, "\\", "")) & "^^^"
entry form_input,comment,objTextFile,oAdd,oComment
[/code]
- audit systems again and let us know what you see.

I gotta say, I'm not seeing this issue. I looked at my system page and everything is showing up with a single backslash.

Is there somewhere else I should be checking?

Well now that to me seems like a tough call... If you are going to require that setting in PHP to be on then changing it should be included in the documentation... Otherwise I beleive the script should be modified so both php and open-audit can work out of the box... Me personally I would lean towards the later since out of the box functionality is always more preffered to me...

But did you (and anybody else previously having the DOMAINusername issue) try if that fix works for you? What is the developers team point of view?

Rather than having to modify PHP.INI, couldn't we use the set_magic_quotes_runtime() function within the OA code to configure this setting?
[url]http://uk.php.net/set_magic_quotes_runtime[/url]

Cheers, Nick.

Hi Nick, although interesting, I don't think it could be added to the code for various reasons:
- it could work for those seeing DOMAINusername, but it would negatively influence also those of us correctly seeing DOMAIN\username with the original audit.vbs
- it would require (I think) allowing the web service user the right to modify the php.ini file (not secure)
- changes to php.ini require restarting the web service to be applied.
So, is it working for you as I proposed on 11 Jan 2008 09:32 ?

I thought I'd add my pennyworth...

Why don't we store the value as username@domain, or possibly even in two separate fields net_user_name and net_user_domain, and then display it as \\net_user_domain\net_user and net_user@net_user_domain on the page.

That way we can deal with both the Windows NT convention (\\DOMAIN\USERNAME) and the Active Directory convention (user@domain or user@fully.qualified.domain)

The underlying php logic can then take care of how to correctly form the URLs and Links, based on the data.

Yes Andrew, but consider that the username property from win32_computersystem is in the DOMAIN\username format and the domain property is in the FQDN format.

So it might be best to sort out the existing code so it woks for everybody... We could simply store the \ character as data as character &H92 and swap back when displaying. What do you think?

We're already doing this conversion for "net_domain" in the script so it would be trivial to do the same for "net_user_name".

Cheers, Nick.

Am I missing the obvious here, surely we should be logging all three things. username ntdomain and activedirectorydomain since all three are useful to us. :shock:

true. can we revert back to single "\", to how it was before? the double "\\" is rather irritating :(
