Hello,

I'm basically a newbie to DNN, however for the last week I've been trying to set up my companies Intranet to work with active directory so my users can access the portal without having to log in. Is this possible?

Configuration:

DNN v.4.3.5 on a W2K server with SP4 (including AD fix for 4.3.5)
.NET 2.0
SQL server 2005 (resides on a different server, same domain)

One of my problems is getting Authentication to work. I enter all the correct settings and it finds the root domain OK but has trouble accessing the LDAP. I've had it find everything successfully only once before (on an earlier version of DNN), but I cannot get a successful authentication. Restarting IIS didn't seem to help here either.

In the web.config, I've uncommented the Authentication line under <httpModules>, and set both connection strings for the correct SQL server.

In IIS, I've made sure .NET 2.0 is being used, and I've disabled anonymous access to the site.

I've been able to log in with a user and it will automatically create a user account, but does not pull any information for that account from active directory. Upon the user accessing the site again, it won't popup a login window, but does require the user to login again at a later time.

Is there anything I'm missing? I've followed several users guidelines off of these forums but my main problem seems to be getting the authentication module to work. The only thing I need to do is have the site set so my users will not be prompted for a login at all and the site will automatically recognize who the user is based on their login to the domain. How can I do this, if at all?

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. :)

I've managed to authenticate with my domain by adding the domain Administrator account
to the anonymous access area for my site in IIS. I also uncommented the <identity impersonate="true"/>
line and that seemed to fix it. I had to disable anonymous access for the WindowsSignIn.aspx
with Integrated Windows authentication still checked.

My problem now is having anyone on the domain access the site without having to put
in their domain\username and password and for DNN to automatically create the user
account.

I seem to be stuck here. Should I be using Forms authentication in the web.config or
Windows authentication?

Thanks.
