Hi,
 
A client is wanting a chat system for their intranet that we have developed (uses asp.net / windows authentication). We have decided to use this software however after spending several hours trying to configure it to work with the windows authentication system, I am at a stand still. I have used the documentation and read the support forums but am still having problems.
 
I've overridden the functions as decribed in the global.asax file and it is picking up that I am logged in (with my windows login name). The problem is when testing it with multiple users. Basically if I log in as "A" and add "B"  as a friend, then log in on another machine as "B", "A" still says "B" is offline and vice versa. Similarly if I send a message from "A" to "B", "B" never receives that message, and again vice versa. I can see in the database that the messages have been added though.
 
It's as though the system doesn't know that "A" or "B" is online despite being logged in as them.
 
Please find below my override functions (in global.asax):
