Hi,

DNN Version:- 7.0.6 Community Edison
Active directory Provider:5.0.5
Windows server 2008 R2


I have two problems with Active Directory provider.

1) I am using Active directory provider. If i open the URL it takes my Windows Credentials and it logs me in but after certain hours it logs me out though i am not cliking log out button. I want strict windows authentciation and all the users who are part of Active directory should be logged in with their Windows Credentials when they open URL anytime. They shouldn't be getting login option. How can i achive this thing? please help me.

2) Another issue is If i create DNN Role which is same as Active Directory Group Name(e.g. Active Directory Group name:- Group1 , DNN Role name:- Group1) it doesn't sync for example if User1,User2 are part of Active Directory Group Group1 ,DNN Role Group1 has access to 5 pages. When User1 opens the URL for my portal i dont see Group1 Role Assigend to User1 and User1 Doesn't have access to 5 pages.


Please help me to achive these two things. Any help is appriciated

1. How many hours are you talking about as far as usage before it logs you out? There is a time limit before the cookie created by IIS times out (it's a random time so I can't say how long the cookie lasts) and forces a re-authentication to the website but it should just log you in and put you back on the same page. The only time that it might cause an issue is if you were using one of the HTML editors I think you'd end up losing everything you'd typed.

2. I just upgraded my test site to 7.0.6 and had no problem with role syncing. Did you follow the instructions in the documentation on the CodePlex site for setting up your DNN roles to work with the provider? Can you give more information on the roles (type, security type, etc)?

Thank you vey much Mike.

I really appriciate your help.

1) I am not sure about hours(but approximately 5 to 6 hours). I am using FckHtmlEditorProvider. Please let me know if there is any issue using this Htmlprovider and because of this editor if it logs me out.

FYI

I have production website working fine with Windows Authentication on another server.
Dotnetnuke version : 5.2.3
IIS version 5.0
No active directory provider.
but still it works with windows authentication. Whenever user opens the URL it takes Windows credentials and logged in.

We have new server on which i am trying to setup website with latest dotnetnuke version 7.0.6.

For this new server configuration is as follows.
Windows server 2008R2
IIS 7.5
Active directory provider 5.0.5

Please let me know if you need any other information.

Hi Mike,

Can you please send me link for the documentation(how to make DNN Roles work with Active directory Group)? I was not able to find the documentation.

1) I have Active directory Group Group1. 3 users are part of that Group.

Group1:
User1
User2
User3

2) I have created DNN Role Name is "Group1"
DNN Role Group1 Has access to 5 pages in website.
Group1 Has access
Page1
Page2
Page3
Page4
Page5

Now if i go to User2's machine and if he trys to open the Website link it doesnt show all the pages that Group1 has Access.

it only displays three tabs Home,Logout,Display name of that user. It doesnt show the tab that has access to all 5 pages.

Please help me how i can achive this.

Regards,
Heni
