Hi,

I am not sure whether this is the right place to post it, but as a newbie I am facing problems with Login issue. I want my clients to login in from an exisitng asp page which gets validated through a core engine  and gets  redirected to the Default page of DNN with them as the registered users.

I have read couple of articles but seems to be for DNN v2 and couldnt locate the similar for the current DNN vr 04.09, where they talk about encrypting the user id and pwd.

Hoping someone can advise.

Do bear with me, new to DNN.

 

Many thanks in advance

Hi Gerald,

Authentication is delegated in DNN. In the default DNN installation forms authentication is used. A cookie (.DOTNETNUKE) is set to identify the user. You'll want to set that cookie. Check for instance the MembershipModule to see if you can set this yourself. Then it'll be picked up by DNN. You'll also want to make sure the cookie actually gets transmitted when the user goes from your login page to the dnn site.

hi Peter,

Thanks for the quick reply, wish I could have said that I understood but being new to DotNetNuke and development I am kind of lost with checking cooking instance for the membership module and to be picked up by DNN.

I guess i should have mentioned this before but the site I am developing is a secure website.

Hoping you could provide me some samples which I could replicate for my issue.

Many thanks,

Gerald

Peter, would that actually work?  Surely DNN checks which site dropped the .DOTNETNUKE cookie, and only logs you in if it was done by the DNN site itself?

JK.


You know your website is cool, so why not let your users help you by spreading the word on social networking sites - get the DotNetNuke Social Bookmarks Module with 57 different ways to add social bookmarks to your site ... or download the FREE demo right now

Hi JK,

Absolutely. The cookie only survives in the same domain. So not sure if there's a way to do all this.
