Hello everyone!

My current situation is this: I'm using a DNN 6.1.03 professional license. My client is using active directory, but the portal is not hosted in the domain. It's hosted in a complete different place (arvixevps to be exact). My problem is: I just want to connect to the active directory but I don't know what to do. I've set up this thing in the past following your documentation. It's pretty easy cause it's very detailed. However, this time (of course) I can't connect to the active directory because the portal is not internally hosted (and my client doesn't want to do so). Is there anything I should ask my client to do for me to connect? I mean I know the domain, but I can't access it because I'm outside the intranet.

Also, you should know that I don't need to set up roles or anything. I just want them to login with their current windows users. In fact, I've no use for active directory at all. I'm just setting this up because I believe it's the only way to do it. The goal I want to achieve is this: I want people from within the intranet to login automatically using their windows user (to a portal that's outside the intranet, arvixevps to be exact). I don't need to set up roles cause they will all be able to access the entire website.


Thanks a lot people, seriously =)

Mike:

Thanks for your answer. Haha you're right, they are not making things easy for us here =).
Anyway, I'm glad you could give me a nice starting point, because I have a very limited understanding of AD. I'll try the LDAP thingy to see if it works.

Thanks a lot.
