I'd be very happy if someone can help me with the following:

I have an Internet portal with DNN 4.4 and would like to add alternative authentication. If the login module cannot authenticate against the DNN users, I would like it to authenticate against an external directory. I currently have a URL that passes the loginname and password and returns a Yes or No. If this authentication is successfull, the portal needs to enter using a predefined DNN user.

This would allow all employees to access certain information at the portal without having to remember different passwords.

I must add that I have limited knowledge of ASP.net. Basically the guy who developed the portal is no longer available. And I have trouble finding someone who can integrate this.

Thanks.

Daniel,

Assuming that the employees usually log in to an active directory account, I'd suggest upgrading to 4..6.2. That version contains an active directry authentication provider.

Maybe this should be its own thread, but is there a way to get DNN to authenticate against a custom provider?  We are considering moving an ASP.NET 2.0 site to DNN but can't lose our existing authentication system. 

 

Thanks!
