I've posted a beta of the 01.00.02 release of the provider here. This release has a number of fixes and a few enhancements (ACD-3084, ACD-4641, ACD-5563, ACD-6416, ACD-6451, ACD-6452, ACD-6493, ACD-6901). ADC-6901 is a major fix for DNN 4.8.0 as the current provider will cause the site to crash.

The files are beta and haven't passed through the DotNetNuke Release Process so do not use them on a production site until you have thoroughly tested them in a test environment.

I had to do the following to get my site to work with the new 1.00.02 beta AD provider:

I see that with this version, the usernames are no longer in the format: MYDOMAIN\username, but rather just username.  To update the existing accounts in the DNN database, I believe you need to update 3 columns in two tables (it worked for me):

UPDATE dbo.Users
SET Username = REPLACE(Username, 'MYDOMAIN\', '')
WHERE Username LIKE '%MYDOMAIN\%'

UPDATE dbo.aspnet_Users
SET UserName = REPLACE(UserName, 'MYDOMAIN\', '')
WHERE UserName LIKE '%MYDOMAIN\%'

UPDATE dbo.aspnet_Users
SET LoweredUserName = REPLACE(LoweredUserName, 'MYDOMAIN\', '')
WHERE LoweredUserName LIKE '%MYDOMAIN\%'

So far so good with 1.02 and these table updates.  Kel

I seem to have problems configuring it. Please see the event stack traces below. I am running DNN on a local box with access to the domain. I use my own u and p to configure access to AD.

In fact, just clicking update settings in the Authentication screen gives me:

An error has occurred.
Error: is currently unavailable.
