Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

Does this mean, that DNN 4.8.2 works with AD auth? I seem to recall, that there was a sad message when 4.8.1 was launched, that the provider no longer would function? Or maybe I misunderstood something..

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

Yes 4.8.2 does work with AD authentication. The only caveat is that under IIS7 (Vista/Server 2008) the site must be run under classic mode pipeline.

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

Well that's just great news. Then I can finally update the company intranet. Great work!

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

We can't seem to get it to work properly. E.G someone makes a mistake putting their details into the Windows Login popup, we get a debug screen. Everytime we go back to the site, we must login again even though we are logged in with Active Directory.

Having problems trying to resolve this in the Forum. e.g. I see that a thread has more than 5 pages. If I'm not logged in, hwn I click on the link there are only 3 pages. But when I login and click on the link there are more than 5. But when I go to the next page, it drops to only three pages.

This makes it very difficult to view the forum when more than have the contents of a thread, seem to magically appear and disappear as you turn pages.

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

Hey
I am using DNN 4.8.2 and I just installed 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released. I don't want my users to use WindowsSignin.aspx I just would like to give them an extra option to use Windows login. I set up correctly Admin-->Authentification. But when I try to log in using Windows login tab dosn't work hang on me. When I switch to normal login tab but still use domain\user.name and pass. let me log in but not synchronize my group with dnn role - everyone is just register user. Any suggestions ? Thank you .

Windows server 2008/IIS 7 set up guide?

Any guide for setting this up on IIS7? I have received this error on my IIS 7
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Access is denied. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80070005): Access is denied. at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_IsContainer() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntries.ChildEnumerator..ctor(DirectoryEntry container) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntries.GetEnumerator() at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.Settings.CheckPipelineMode() at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.Settings.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
And there is no file security set up in IIS 7 any more...:S

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

@gamania, yes there still is file security in IIS 7 but it's a little unintuitive to find it. Switch IIS7 to Content View and browse to WindowsSignin.aspx. Right-Click on WindowsSignin.aspx and switch to Features View. Double click on Authentication and disable Anonymous and enable Windows Authentication. If Windows Authentication isn't listed then you need to add it through Programs and Features->Turn Windows features on or off.

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

Hi guys,

Just tried to load the new module and got the following exeptions:

ExceptionSystem.Exception: Dnn load failed, aborting at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaDnnLoaderFactory.GetDnnAdapter() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaInstaller.Install()

Am I doing something wrong, do I need to update to the newer version of DNN?

Regards

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

@damian.kars. Install it under Host->Host Settings->Authenticaion Services.

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the help. Silly little mistake :)

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

On http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Products/Development/Forge/Authentication/Downloads/tabid/852/Default.aspx

The Active Directory Provider 01.00.03 Users Guide document links to the version 01.00.00 document, is that a feature or a error? Are there supposed to be a v 01.00.03 version of the document?

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

I'm not sure what happened to the .03 version of the documentation and I don't have a copy of it here at work. I'll run home at lunchtime and upload it again (in about 4 hours).

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

@ravensensei: Please post in the Authentication Provider forum with the problem you're having.

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

nevermind, I'm a big dork. I went to the host settings and installed it there.

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

Sorry for being thick here but how do you install the seperate DNN provider now? I have tried Host / Module Definitions and Load dnn file but it fails with "A critical error has occurred. Dnn load failed, aborting". Any help will be graetfully received.

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

I managed to install it after reading the above postings again!! However, when I went back in to Admin / Authentication it displayed an error (see below) and it did not have any values in the Authentication DDL. Any ideas?

@Dougie, please post your problem in the Providers forum. It's easier to help troubleshoot a problem there.

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

Hello, Mike! I'm faced with a challenge to combine a user self registration process (including e-mail verification step) and AD authentication after registration success. Is it a good idea to modify current source code now or to wait for the new release? General context looks like this: user fill up a set of fields regarding new customer organization and his personal data as well, DNN performs user e-mail validation, then data is transmitted to AD through back-end systems (MS CRM that perform the custom business logic and MS Provisioning System wich contain AD provider to create OU container and user account). So second issue to be able to dynamicly (during registration proccess) vary AD settings such as OU, UPN suffix, preffered DC. Any idea how to design the solution by the best way? Kind regards, Stanislav, spavlyuk@biznes-liga.com.

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

All needed AD deployment templates already done in CRM. It's needed just to poot parameters into DNN and get worked up the registration process (user/organization pair).

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

"poot parameters" :)

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

@IndianGuru, it looks like you need to use impersonation in your web.config. This is covered in the documentation (http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Products/Development/Forge/ProviderAuthentication/Downloads/tabid/852/Default.aspx)

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

Hi there,

We have looked at various posts regarding common issues for the AD module, which none have covered our login issue. The problem we have is we have an intranet site set up for one of our customers that authorizes staff using their windows credentials. For example the following url automatically signs members of staff into their company intranet site when their pc is loaded (domain name taken out for security reasons):

http://companyintranetdomainname/DesktopModules/AuthenticationServices/ActiveDirectory/WindowsSignin.aspx

As mentioned, the above url shortcut verifies users on their windows login details and allows staff to access their intranet site. But if a user was to try and login (example purposes) or to access the intranet site over the internet, then their windows login details will not work. We know it is not an IIS issue because the intranet site has been set up to authorize a user on their windows login details before being allowed access to the intranet site from which they can then login. The url which they are taken to after the initial staff verification by IIS is:

http://companyintranetdomainname/Default.aspx?tabid=36&ctl=Login&returnurl=%2fDefault.aspx

When a user tries to login they recieve the normal message:

"Login Failed, remember that Passwords are case sensitive"

Normal DNN users accounts can login but with the intranet site having windows login details as the preferred logins due to having permission based modules for restricted staff access, this is obviously not an option. We have tried various tests and are wondering if it is a module issue? If anyone has experienced this before then we would be very grateful for a response.

I hope I have explained our situation clearly, if not then please ask relevant questions.

Thanks for your help in advance!


Craig

Re: 01.00.03 Active Directory Provider Released

@Craig

Can you please post this in the Authentication Provider forum. It'll be easier to help you out there than here. Also, if you could add what Server OS/IIS Version you're using that would be great.
