[Windows Ident Server] Service not "working" on Vista Zanejin -
November 30, 2009, 4:53 am
Hello!
I sent you an email on this a while ago but have not received a response. I understand if you're busy with other things.
First of all, thanks for writing the Windows Ident Server; makes IRC smoother for me (I use irssi on Windows Vista SP2 32-bit). However, the WinIdentSvc service, which I have installed using "run as administrator", is not replying to Ident requests sent by IRC even though WinIdent.exe does this fine. I've tried
manually restarting the service and also rebooting—no use.
How can I mitigate this issue? I'd much rather have just the service running than starting up with the application.
Thanks!
Zanejin
Windows Ident Server 2.0 as service Eugene V. Subbotin -

When I trying to use rndware identd server running as service on Windows XP SP3 or Windows 7, the userid response from server is "SYSTEM" but not currently logged in user. How can I change this behaviour to normal userid responses?
Is there some ways to install identd via GPO with installing it as service on all workstations in domain?

Eugene V. Subbotin:
That is intended behavior. WinIdent has no way of knowing which user is logged in.
You could make a login script that would update the text file. I think there's an example included in the Windows Ident Server help document.

I can't say what causes this from the information you've given me. It might be a firewall or a permissions issue.

Hi, Simon:
Thanks for the idea; I'd only considered permissions before. It did turn out to be a firewall issue—just needed to add WinIdentSvcApp.exe as an exception.

Does your psybnc version support SSL?
I tried it but it doesn't seem to support SSL, it doesn't connect.
Would it be possible to add SSL support for the next version?
Thanks

I'm attempting to use WIS2 as an authentication source for Squid. Unfortunately the program doesn't seem to handle the rapid-fire series of requests that Squid generates. It returns the correct name some of the time, but sometimes returns the literal string "!user" or nothing at all. If set to return data from a file, it stops responding and crashes after 10 or requests in a row. Any chance of this getting fixed?
