Hi People,

Trying out DNN 5 Pro, wanting to log in users either automatically or by entering their windows credentials (Domain\Username).

Active Directory 5.002 was installed, so configured that in these steps -

Steps:

1) Edited web.config to allow impersonate account with proper userName and password. Set for Forms Authentication

2) From IIS manager set file security of WindowsSignin.aspx to Integrated Windows Authentication only

3) ASP.Net Temporary Files folder was allowed full access to this user (presently this is the Domain Administrator account)

4) Edited DNN_ActiveDirectoryAuthentication from Admin -> Extensions and got Green Signal for Global Catalog / Root Domain and LDAP All OK, 1 domain found.

5) Edited Trusted Sites to add http://localhost andalso http://machinename to try browsing from separate computer

Problem:

All permutations and combination of -

DNN_ActiveDirectoryAuthentication  was tried with both Hide / Show Login Controls along with enabling and disabling the Admin -> Extensions  -> Default Authentication have been tried, always getting

"Login Failed. Please remember that passwords are case sensitive"  no matter what !!! The only account working are the host and the admin account of DNN setup.

Looks like, active directory is not being searched at all. 

web.config Authentication is set as:

 

 Please help! Cannot set AD authentication to work.

 

 

<add name="Authentication" type="DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.HttpModules.AuthenticationModule, DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory" />

Couple of quick questions.... what OS is the server running and is the server part of the domain?

Hmmm and this is happening on the even when you try to login from the local computer correct? If you go to http://dnn.gmss.org and look under AD Provider Betas there's a file called Website Authentication Testing file. Could you follow the instructions from that and see if it works?
