Re: Active Directory Provider Available For Download

Thanks Mike for all your hard working in getting this important feature back on track. I am amazed in the forms how often I see you answer questions about this topic. Keep up the good work

Re: Active Directory Provider Available For Download

Hi.. I tried to add this module to our current DNN Portal 4.05.03(ActiveDirectory_01.00.00_Install) but it produced an error.

Re: Active Directory Provider Available For Download

That's because it's for DNN 4.6.0 and above. There already is an AD Provider included in the 4.5.3 version of DNN except that it's part of the core code instead of being separated into a stand-alone provider.

Re: Active Directory Provider Available For Download

I tried to use the AD Provider but found it frustrating to learn that I had to specify the domain\username instead of just the username. Is there something I missed that would allow me to specify the default domain so the user wouldn't have to? Also, what about allowing the user to enter the User Principal Name instead of the samaccountname?

Thanks.

See this post in the forums (http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/89/threadid/60815/scope/posts/Default.aspx) except place it in DesktopModules/AuthenticationServices/ActiveDriectory/Login.ascx. That will negate the need to enter DOMAIN\Username when logging in.

Re: Active Directory Provider Available For Download

Mike - I just tried your suggestion in the post mentioned above and it does not enter the domain info when you click the Windows Login button. I have made a slight mod to the code and have posted it in the forum. Instead of using ontextchanged I used onLoad. Works great everytime.

Re: Active Directory Provider Available For Download

I use ADAM (active directory application mode), will I be able to authenticate using the new provider.

Re: Active Directory Provider Available For Download

Whenever I try to open DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.sln, I get an error from Visual Studio saying, "The Project file....DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.vbproj cannot be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation."

I am trying to open it using Visual Studio 2005.

Is there a special way I need to unzip the source files?

Re: Active Directory Provider Available For Download

I prefer if people use the forums to ask questions but if you installed the source .zip by going installing under Host->Host Settings->Authentication Services or even just extracting the resources file to a directory you shouldn't have any problems. What happens when you try opening the .vbproj file?

Re: Active Directory Provider Available For Download

Download the beta (the same version is currently almost through the DNN Release Tracker) from http://dnn.gmss.org. The error you're seeing is fixed in that version.
