Mike,

Sorry, i forgot the impersonation question. Yes, we use impersonation on our standard .NET web applications, we don't usually supply a user name and password though as this will authenticate all users of the site as that user i would have thought? Anyway, i am using impersonation in the web config and i have tried both with and without user details.

One thing to note, i have made the home page a link to the windowslogin.aspx page, this still does not seem to authenticate though.

Mike,

I changed the web config impersonation as above, i changed the home page from being a link to the WindowsSignin.aspx, i have tried to login various users with the LDAPBrowser software and had no issues.

SUCCESS! I have just run IISRESET from the command prompt and asked a domain user to login and they get their user name next to a logout link, and their details added to the database in the users table.

It still does not work for me though, is that because it's running on my XP workstation? i have tried logging in from other machines and it still does not work. If it's because i'm using my machine as a server, then it's not really an issue and i won't worry about it, although, it will be difficult to develop personalised modules(user's links etc) and test them locally. If you can fix this, great, if not, no worries.

All i really need to do now then is remove the logout/user name via skinning and i can provide my customer with personalisation from AD as required.

Mike,

I should have clarified my last post a little. Users are logging in automatically by browsing to the DNN installation on my XP dev machine from their own machines,. which is what i wanted. The only issue remaining is why it does not automatically log me in when i browse locally on my dev machine, or, when i login to another machine on the doamin and browse the site from there.

I am planning on setting this up on our dev server tomorrow, it's going to be what we deploy on anyway as it's a w2k3 server , so it will be a good test. If my domain users and i can login to that, then it must be something to do with my installation? I'll let you know how i get on. In the mean time, if you have any other suggestions for my dev problem, please let me know.

Thank you very much for your constant support of this issue, it is very much appreciated.
