Hi all,

I’m now 3 weeks into incorporating a DotNetNuke solution for our company intranet. I have overcome plenty of hurdles and may be nearing the last one!

As a large company we have content management areas within the business that specific users can upload documents to. The objective is drive this security from AD.

Currently the AD provider picks up my credentials and logs me in to the site (im getting the windows login box at present because I cant alter my trusted sites, though this is being sorted).

To sync an AD role to DNN and prove it working I took the following steps:

1. Created a group in AD called IntranetDNN.
2. Added myself to that group.
3. Created a role in DNN called IntranetDNN.
4. Added a basic module and set view permissions to the IntranetDNN role.
5. Closed the browser, deleted temp files and cookies as a precaution.

(I also created a role group called IntranetDNN and added a role in there but that didn’t work either, not sure if that’s how it should work?)

Anyway, I was then hoping to see this module the next time I hit the site, but that is not the case.

I have ensured “Synchronize roles” is ticked in the authentication settings. I checked the database to see if DNN had added a record in UserRoles relating the IntranetDNN role, but it hadn’t? I do already have the Registered Users and Subscribers roles against my login but im pretty sure that is standard?

Can anyone please advise if I have taken all the correct steps, or if there are any useful trouble shooting tips that might help.

I have already been through a number of threads on the DNN website before posting this but had no luck in finding a resolution

Any information would be greatly appreciated as once this is sorted im very nearly there! J

Thanks,

Kevin.

ps - Dan, i think in your last post you just meant to the tickbox in authentication settings, if so you dont need to respond to that post.

Yeah, the sync option is already ticked, so unfortunatley the issues highlighted in my previous email still stand.
