I am using the current version of DNN 4.3.5.

I recently upgraded from a 3.x  version.

When users visit the site that have previsouly been auto -setup using the 3.x version they Auto login as intended. However, when a new user that has never visited the site opens the portal the infinite loop problem starts. If I disable windows login and use form authentication and they manually sign in it works perfectly. However, this casues the user to manually signin where they are used to being auto logged in. Is there a solution for fixing the user creation issue with the auto login enabled? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

 

I was having the same problem. All I needed to to was use Forms Authentication in the web.config and copy the windowssignin.aspx from the admin area to the root. I then have the site call that on startup instead of the Default.aspx. Everything works fine that way. It logs in the user and/or creates them as required. Be sure the host configuration is set up for active directory autentication. Hope this helps.

For a little more of clarity, I set up some code that calls a web service this way:

rs2005.ReportingService2005 rs = new rs2005.ReportingService2005();

System.Net.ICredentials netCredential;

netCredential = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials; //This is getting Network authority/System on the forms login method. on the other way it gets the domain user logged onto windows domain\username...

rs.Url = urlSSRSWebService; //This connects to the reporting services web server..

If that doesn't work, I would have to get the user data (name, domain, pass) and do this:
netCredential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password, domain);

but, how do I get the password in order to pass it to the webservice??

The right thing should be that the users get auto created in windows login mode... might be a permission issue? anyway, lots of people are having this problem that the users are not created...

any help on this?

Thanks a lot!!
