Hi Mike,

performing a check on my DNN 4.7 and 4.8 hosts, where I installed the beta provider, I find a couple of DLL in the bin directory I'm not sure of: is it correct to have DotNetNuke.Authentication.ADSI.dll and DotNetNuke.Authentication.ADSIProvider.dll in the bin, and DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.dll and Interop.ActiveDs.dll under bin\Providers ?

I'm trying to add some eventlog write in the DLL, so to "see" what's happening (cannot debug with Visual Studio Express), but never see any of my modifications running, so that I'm wondering whether some other DLL is getting loaded instead!

For example I put the following code in function  WindowsAuthorization (login.ascx.vb) or AuthenticationLogon (authenticationcontroller.vb):

            Dim _portalSettings As PortalSettings = Common.GetPortalSettings
            Dim log As New DotNetNuke.Services.Log.EventLog.EventLogController
            log.AddLog("WindowsAuthorization", loginStatus.ToString, _portalSettings, -1, Services.Log.EventLog.EventLogController.EventLogType.ADMIN)

but I never can see any eventlog entry with my data.

Also, in my web.config, I have:

under httpmodules:

      <add name="Authentication" type="DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.HttpModules.AuthenticationModule, DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory" />

then:

<authentication defaultProvider="ADSIAuthenticationProvider">
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="ADSIAuthenticationProvider" type="DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.ADSI.ADSIProvider, DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory" providerPath="~\Providers\AuthenticationProviders\ADSIProvider\" />
      </providers>
    </authentication>

 but Providers\AuthenticationProviders directory does not exist - is this the old path?

Mike,

I've got it working to a certain extent.

The authenication test is now coming back successfully, I think the reason it was failing was due to the fact that I had set up an application pool through IIS for the portal. In order to be able to see the CPU usage through task manager and to differentiate it from the other sites on the server, I used the IWAM user identity.

So now the site is authenticating users but it doesn't seem to be synchronising the roles. I've ensured that all roles within the portal have corresponding roles within active directory but it doesn't seem to synchronising them with users within the Active Directory roles.

You can see the settings in the attached pic. (I removed the domain name just for security reasons prior to posting)

Enabled? Check to enable Active Directory Authentication for this portal Hide Login Controls? Hides the Windows Login button on the Login screen. Synchronize Role? If select, user's role will be synchronized with Windows Active Directory security group each time user logon
