I have not been able to find any information about this on the web. We are about to embark on a county school system web site that will combine a school intra/extranet portal for teachers and administrators and a parent/student portal for parents/students and teachers.
It is essential that once a teacher is logged in, they have access to areas of the system based on role. However, the teachers and admins will be using AD Authentication to log in; the parents and students will be using SQL Authentication to log in. Is this possible with the Membership Provider in DNN? I cannot find this info online or in the manuals, and that's not surprising since it's a fairly advanced issue.
The upshot is that we would like to use dnn, w/o changing the core, and be able to have one umbrella site, with a signle login, whether you are logging in via windows authentication or sql authentication, and once logged in, it is the role-based criteria that controls what you can do.
Could someone point me to a tutorial or give a heads up on where in the core to go looking for this capability? Thanks much in advance. We're excited about potentially using DNN, and the system will be for 20K+ users (not simultaneously, though there we are anticipating 1K+ user sessions at peak times)...
