Hi,

I have the AD module successfully set up on my Intranet and it's an excellent module.  But I was wondering, is there anyway of getting the user profile in dnn to be populated with information from active directory??  For example, if you edit a user profile the First and Last names are pre-populated but it would be good if I can get the address and telephone number pro-populated from AD as well.  Is that possible???

I need to do this as well.  Currently, when the user authenticates with domain/username, the DNN profile is populated with username, firstname, lastname, street, city, state, zip and email address. 

I would like to add (and have tried!) more profile properties that match the other fields from the directory but this information is NOT being populated to the DNN profile fields.  Is there a specific trick to making this work?

Authentication is set to ASDIAuth, Type is Delegation, root domain is ou=employees,ou=users,dc=domainname,dc=com.  All other fields left blank exept email domain.   I get accessing global catalog, root domain, ldap all OK and a list of the 5 different domains found.

When I add new profile properties, is there a specific variable that has to be entered or if the 'Property Name" matches the directory field name, should it not be retrieved?

Any advice?

As Andrew is wondering I am also.  I would like to have a custom field in AD which populates upon sync in DNN to the user information.

There are a certain set of common profile properties that are populated.  If your AD environment doesn't use the default names for these things, then they will not get populated.  There is nothing in the current code base which will allow you to assign profile properties to different AD fields or to fill in additional profile properties from AD. (If you don't mind modifying code, you can look at how I changed the function which fills in the profile values to allow me to get by this issue HERE.)
