Hi:

I'm a newbie to customizing DNN, I have choosen DNN to use as our companies Intranet but am running into issues configuring dnn 4.3.7 to use windows authentication. I see a lot of posts on this but can't seem to find the information I need. I have purchased dnnMasters User import tool and can import all users from AD to DNN but when I try to use the built-in tool to port users and roles into dnn I have no success. Can someone point me to a step by step on how to accomplish this? As you can see from the picture below everystep fails and I don't know why. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well nevermind the pic it will not let me upload it, anyway here are the settings I'm using.

 

Accessing Global catalog: Fail

Checking Root Domain: Fail

Accessing LDAP: Fail

Find All Domains in Network: Could not access LDAP to obtain domains info

Login Failure: unknown user name or bad password.

Windows Authentication: Checked

Syncronize Role: Checked

Provider: ADSIAuthentication Provider

Authentication Type: Delegation

Root Domain: ldap://c-p.com also tried c-p.com & DC=c-p, DC=com

User Name: Administrator

Password: is correct despite the error above

Email Domain: @c-p.com

You can email me directly @ ciscor@c-p.com or respond to this post.

Thanks,

Cisco

 

 

The reason I posted the ability to import from ad to dnn using the import tool was to show that I don't have any connectivity issues getting to AD and the import tool was used on a different dnn site.

I am using admin because I can't seem to get it to work any other way and this was a way for me to rule out any permission issues. I have started over from scratch with a vanilla site but, if I specify my root domain as dc=c-p,dc=com I get the following:

Error: Windows Authentication is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSI.Utilities.AddADSIPath(String Path, Path ADSIPath) at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSI.Utilities.GetRootEntry(Path ADSIPath) at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSI.Utilities.GetRootEntry() at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSIProvider.GetNetworkStatus() at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationController.NetworkStatus() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Authentication.AuthenticationSettings.cmdAuthenticationUpdate_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

That worked for my local test but not for the one I need it too, the server I actually need to function currently sits on our DMZ, although it will not live there permanently I will need to here for testing purposes and I need AD sync to function. It seems to save all settings in the suthentication module but throws that exception (from previous post) when trying to contact AD, I assume there is still an issue with dnn, as opposed to a transport issue because I would expect to see a different error. Any other ideas?
