I'm not near my 2008 server but I think I've run into that before and I think it's got something to do with how Microsoft's server products handle security.

Other than that I don't know what else I can say for you to try. I know it works as my server at home is working using the same setup.

This is 2008R2 and from what I see from other postings, quite a few people cannot get the auto-login to work. Basically it is acting consistently like the re-direct to the windows sign in page is not working at all.  If you link to it explicitly, it appears to function properly.   Where does the system determine that it needs to use the windows login page?  Is it in the web.config? 

I have a pretty aggravated customer right now in that I pushed hard to use AD authentication as I have used it in the past on DNN 5.X sites and with older providers…now this doesn’t work.  I don’t know where to turn and it appears that there isn’t much activity toward resolving this issue that I see in the forum.

Thanks for the response but I have to figure this out pretty quickly!

Sorry Roy. I meant to say 2008R2. If you go to http://ad.hortonfamily.ca you can see that it's doing the redirect to windowssignin.aspx. The redirect is handled as part of the modules section if you're running on the Integrated Pipeline and in the httpModules section if you're in the Classic mode.

Basically why you don't see much activity is that I can't duplicate it. If I can't duplicate the problem there's not a whole lot I can do to help resolve it though there is something you could try.

Download Fiddler on a non server computer. Clear the cache and cookies (under the Tools menu item) and then hit the site. It'll log everything that it does from there. I don't know if it'll help or not but maybe something in there will point to the problem.

 Mike...

I have installed Fiddler and have determined that the site never makes the call to WindowsSignin.aspx.  I also installed Fiddler on another site that is running 5.03 (which is working) and see that the 2nd line showing in Fiddler is the call to WindowsSignin.aspx.  I never see this in the none working site.

Both are running on 2008R2 w/ IIS7.  Both are running 4.0 Integrated with exactly the same pool settings.  I have compared the modules section and the httpModules section between the two systems.  They are not exactly the same but adjusting the non-working site modules and httpmodules sections to look like the working site's lines seems to make no difference (just the lines associated with authentication).  All other settings as far as IIS is concerned are the same between the two locations.

Can you tell me what lines I should have in both the modules and httpmodules sections?  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the module as well and even tried the 5.05 beta...regardless it continues to not call WindowsSignin.aspx on load.

Completely confused by this behavior...

Thanks for any help you might have...

Roy

In the section you should have the following lines together (along with their opening and closing tags):
remove name="FormsAuthentication"
add name="FormsAuthentication" type="Mvolo.Modules.FormsAuthModule"
add name="Authentication" type="DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.HttpModules.AuthenticationModule, DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory"

The Mvolo module is the workaround so that the redirect to WindowsSignin.aspx works under the integrated pipeline.

In the httpModules section you need this line:
add name="Authentication" type="DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.HttpModules.AuthenticationModule, DotNetNuke.Authenication.ActiveDirectory"
