Hello,

just tried to get the latest AD provider to work on IIS 7 Windows 2008. Changed to Classic mode and it seems that the network service hasn't sufficient permisions to check the pipeline mode. The code crashes with an Access Denied in the CheckPipelinmode function.

I alos figured out that it works, if the AppPool is running under LocalSystem. So I suppose that this is a permission issue....

What I did is to change the function to always return false:

Function CheckPipelineMode(ByVal Request As HttpRequest) As Boolean Return False

This is a workaround, but is there anybody who knows how I can grant the necessary permissions to the networkservice account?

Private

Hello Mike,

thanks for your answer. I tried impersonating. I created a user in AD. Granted full access permissions to the dnn directory and to the ASP.NET temporyry Files directory. and added this line to the web.config, but received the same error...

<identity impersonate="true" userName="domain\intranet" password="pass"/>

Is there something I missed?

Regards,

Alex

I haven't read those two blog posts so it may be related but my understanding was that Windows 2008 and Vista were pretty close to the same as far as IIS went. I haven't got a 2008 box that I can test on but I do know others have gotten it working.
