Hi, I need some help to find a solution for our case with DNN and a new authentication system.

Our scenario is the following: We have a main web app that use a SQL Azure. For this main app, we have many bussiness web portal builds on DNN in differents domains, that actually authenticate the users and then with a customized certification process we give access by an Iframe in a DNN web page, to the main app. We take the roles capability off DNN  in order to give different permisions for the main app. Meanwhile we use a server with SQL database for store the users datas and other server with QL2008 for the main app datas.

What we want: we are not totally sure, but one option that we are arguing:

Use the differents web portals in DNN with an AD and then to setup it as a IP (identity provider)  in the ACS of Azure and to use the authentication. The main app and his database will be hosted at Azure. What we need to do in order to integrate this? we are thinking to use adfs2, but we dont want to tell to the users, already authenticated within DNN to do it again with the ACS.

Can anyone help me o gime an advice for that?

Thanks a lot

 Hi Mike, thanks for your quick advice! and congrat for your help with the DNN forum.

ok, but one thing, can we use the DNN AD provider in the first authentication? I mean when the users sing in a DNN portal.

Then to integrate to the Azure ACS, DNN doesnt have any provider? so in this case we need to do our integration?

Thanks

Ruben
