Hi -

New install of DNN 4.8.1 - all was fine until I got brave and tried to intstall the AD Provider 0100.03 that I dowloaded form dnn.gmss.org...

I used the instructions from the prior version and the install was reported 'successful'.  However, after I went into the authentication settings and clicked on update I got an error.  I was called away and when I came back, DNN had logged out.  Then I couldn't get back in using HOST or ADMIN or even an AD account.  I found in another post about changing the DNN_ENABLED in the table back from false to true, so I did that. 

Now I get this error:

Any help you can give me to get me back to before installing the AD provider would be appreciated....  ThanksDescription: An application error occurred on the server.

Runtime Error

Thanks Mike.  I was able to get it back into it.  Seems like the permissions to the APP_DATA\database.mdf and other files in that folder lost the permissions when I attached to the file in sql visual studio express.  once i reset the permissions it worked.    i removed the AD module, and will try it again, but this was the error i get after the with update on the authentication page;

DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.ADSI.Utilities.AddADSIPath(String Path, Path ADSIPath) at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.ADSI.Utilities.GetRootEntry(Path ADSIPath) at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.ADSI.ADSIProvider.GetNetworkStatus() at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.Settings.UpdateSettings() --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

working on this issue, i was surprised to find that DNN is using the app_data\database.mdf file and not the database i created in sql 2005 express...  i thought i had made the necessary changes to web.config before installing.  is it possible to move the database and get it where it should be?

thanks again - rick

Setting the correct impersonation string did the trick.  I was able to install / configure the ad provider .  Thank you!

Sync appears fine so far - it's bringing over names, addresses, phone number, email.  Is there anyway to get it to syncronize other AD fields - specifically department and title?
