Hi,

I managed to get DNN 4.6.2 up and running with AD roles synchronization working perfectly.  I can be automatically authenticated against  AD once browsing the DNN portal using my Windows login.  I checked the users list my account is listed as domain\username format so when I manually log back  to my portal either in STANDARD Mode or Windows I have to supply my credentials in domain\username  format  then my password.

My question is in STANDARD MODE is it possible to log into DNN 4.6.2 without the domainname prefix? i.e. Username: username Password: password.  I am asking this because I noticed in our network some users are able to log without the domainname prefix into their account .

If it is possible how do  I edit the code to automatically filled in the domainname?

I would appreciate if someonce could reply on my query.

Hi Mike,

This is the scenario:

User X - The first time User X connects to the DNN portal he is automatically logged in using AD authentication. In the users list his account shows domainname\USERX . Now  USer X decided to log out of DNN portal so he logs off and close the browser. Then if he tried to log back in this time he can just supply his username and password without the the domainname prefix in the Windows Login window. Simply : Username: UserX  Password: password  and that creates another username of the same person in the list. Since user X  second DNN account has no domainname prefix, he can log in the portal using the Standard mode.

User Y: The first time User Y browses the DNN portal he is automatically logged in using AD authentication.  Now if User Y manually logs back into the DNN portal he MUST  supply his username in  domainname\User Y format.  And this confuses me why is it User X can get in to the portal by just supplying his username ( without domainname) but not User Y. And one more thing User Y can log into the DNN portal by selecting STANDARD MODE and supply his username in domainname\username format. Is this normal?

Yes Mike, all users are authenticated against Active Directory. Do you have any idea or fix so the users won't have to supply their domainname everytime they log on? I am using DNN 4.6.2

cheers,

Hi Mike,

It was a fresh install of  DNN 4.6.2 well initially I had a DNN 4.5.5 but I deleted that and started a fresh install of  4.6.2. I have edited the  login.ascx of the two Authentication types both DNN and ActiveDirectory and added the script that you've  pointed me to.  I can now login without specifying the domainname. Thanks a lot for your help on this issue.

 Hey Mike I have some more questions if you don't mind as I dont know much about ASp.  I would like to know which variable is being used for the username attribute, Is it the controlname="txtUsername" or resourcekey="Username"

<td class="SubHead" align="left"><dnn:label id="plUsername" controlname="txtUsername" runat="server" resourcekey="Username" /></td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td align="left"><asp:textbox id="txtUsername" ontextchanged="change" columns="9" width="150" cssclass="NormalTextBox" runat="server" /></td>
