Installing the NT authentication option

First, download and install the complete version of Perl, build 315, from ActiveState. This version is available from our web site, at: ftp://ftp.lyris.com/extra/pw32i315.exe

Then, take the ZIP file that you have downloaded from us and unzip it into a temporary directory. From this temporary directory, copy AdminMisc.pm into the \perl5\lib\win32\ directory. Then, make a directory called \perl5\lib\auto\win32\adminmisc\ and copy the file named AdminMisc.pll from the temporary directory, into this new directory.

Finally, locate the file named "lyris.plc". If you have configured your Lyris List Manager installation to use your web server, this file will be in the CGI-BIN directory (or SCRIPTS directory, if you are using IIS). If you are using the Apache web server installed with Lyris List Manager, this file will be found in the lib directory under Apache. Load this file in notepad, and add a single line to the bottom of it, which says:

    nt_auth=1

You are done!

There is no need to restart Lyris List Manager, as your changes take effect immediately. If you want to undo the NT authentication option, simple remove the one line you added to lyris.plc.

Note: The NT authentication option requires Lyris List Manager 2.548 or newer. Versions previous to that do not have the necessary program code for this option.
