Hello everyone,

I'm new to DNN and want to thank DNN & the community for a great tool. I'm looking to implement DNN in an intranet and wanted to know if AD could accomplish a few things I'm trying to do.

I have AD working and recognizing users. This is very nice. I want to set up several child sites and direct users to pages that relate to their location and job function. I'd also like to restrict some areas/content to managers or employees in certain roles. We have several custom fields in our AD setup. Some of the fields include: City, GAL_Title, State, HR_Location, HR_Jobcode, HR_Manager_Rank, Division, NT_Domain, AD_Organizational_Unit2.

Is this possible with this tool? If not, can it be modified to do so, and where would I direct our programmer to make the adjustments.

The senario I'm looking for would look like this: a sales rep would log onto DNN and be directed to the sales portal for their particular state. A repair tech would be directed to their related child site by state. A manager could have access to pages/ child sites that are not available to non-managers.

Thanks for taking the time to read,

Eiger

It would require some changes to the code. I'm not near the source at the moment but will post later this evening on where the code changes would need to be done.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my request Mike. That's very generous of you. I'm new to DNN and very excited about its capabilities. Please let me know if you need anything from my end.

Best regards,

Eiger

The sub that would need to be changed is FillUserInfo in ADSIProvider.vb. I think that would be all that would need to be changed as far as the AD provider goes and I'm not 100% sure what would need to be added to access the particular profile properties that you'll need to add to DNN.

Thanks again Mike. I will forward this info to our programmer.
