northerncs:

We are trying to install the live support stand alone version.  We have the demo working on our local machine in C but are having trouble getting it to work in VB.

 

We are getting the error

 

CuteChat.AppChatIdentity identity = CuteChat.ChatProvider.Instance.GetLogonIdentity();

We have installed the global file at the root and are wondering what we are missing?

northerncs:

One other thing.  When i try to connect with the software it says, Login Form return OK, but login failed!

 

I uploaded the CuteChat tables to SQL server and added the default username and password.

northerncs:

http://www.kfactorfilter.com/CuteSoft_Client/CuteChat/SupportService.asmx

 

When I go to the directory in question the samples appear to work.  I only have a basic knoledge of SOAP and XML posts.

 

When you go to the above page do you get an error?

northerncs:

I have the default install with the default credentials.

Table SampleUsers

 Fields 

LoginName NickName, Password, Email, IsAdmin

admin

admin

admin

[email protected]

1

 

It says "You entered an invalid password".

 

Is it expecting the password to be encrypted in the database?
