The short summary is that you shouldn't upgrade to DNN 4.8.0 if you need to use the Active Directory provider.

Just a short note to let everyone know that I submitted a new version of the provider to the Release Tracker yesterday (http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Products/Development/ProjectReleaseTracking/tabid/997/Default.aspx).
I also got the documentation done for the 01.00.00 version of the provider. It can be found in the Project's Download Area under Other Files (http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Products/Development/Projects/ProviderAuthentication/tabid/840/Default.aspx).

I just returned from a three day camping trip with my son's grade six class in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies to a mailbox full of people having problems with Active Directory. It was quite a shock to the system as it's been a long time since I was totally without internet access for more than a day.
It looks like a change somewhere in the core has broken AD websites that use full authentication (the authentication line is uncommented in the web.config) but mixed-mode authentication still works (users log into the DNN site using DOMAIN\Username and their AD password or use a link to the windowssignin.ascx) in single portal installs (multiple parent/child portals is another matter). I've been able to recreate it on a test site but then was able to fix it by deleting the AD user from the DNN site and then visiting again. Once the account was recreated everything worked fine. However, this is not an ideal solution (deleting all current users) on a portal that has thousands of users.

Hello everyone.
After many discussions with Joe Brinkman and Scott Willhite about the Active Directory provider I decided it was time to "put up or shut up" and applied to be the Project Lead. Imagine my surprise when the answer was "Yes". 
Seeing as this is my first blog here I guess I should tell you a little about myself. I've worked with computers doing programming on a personal level since the very early 80's. On a professional level I've worked in an IT position at a Technical College in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada for the past 10 or so years where I do a bit of everything (computer repair, server administration, programming, etc). I discovered DotNetNuke back in it's early days (I believe it was version 1.0.6) and quickly became a convert. When I'm not working on the computer I'm either watching some form of motorsports, at TaeKwonDo with my eleven year old son, or spending time with...
