Hi,

 I am pretty new to DNN and developing a module for use in Intranet use (using DNN7.1). Therefore I have to read the Servervariable "LOGON_USER" to identify which User is accessing the page. To test this I tried some simple aspx-Files, which will give you the User. So the Server actually sets this Variable.

But when I want to get the Users from within my written Module i will always get an empty String or host, if I am logged in as host.

The Code I am using is (C#):

Request.ServerVariables.Get("LOGON_USER") 

Am I missing something important? Anyone knows help?

Thanks for the answer!

I tried the alternativ mentioned in the forum you refered and got an Error message:

 A critical error has occurred. Could not load type 'System.Security.Claims.ClaimsIdentity' from assembly 'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.

On Serverside Windows Auth, Basic Auth and Annonymus Auth are activated. 

 Then I wanted to turn Windows Authentication on, by changing the web.config to:

  But nothing changed by doing that.

I also searched for the Authentication Provider in : Host-->Extensions--> Authethication Systems --> default provider but there was nothing to edit, only readable labels:

Authentication Type:

DNN

Login Control Source:

DesktopModules/AuthenticationServices/DNN/Login.ascx

Logoff Control Source:

Settings Control Source:

DesktopModules/AuthenticationServices/DNN/Settings.ascx

Enabled?

True

 

Also in Host --> Extensions --> Authentication (Module) there was nothing about Windows authenthication:

Select Definition:

Add Definition

Definition Name:

Account Login

Friendly Name:

Default Cache Time:

Module Controls

Control	Title	Source
		DesktopModules/Admin/Authentication/Login.ascx

select

So how do I set up the Windows Authenttication? I found some Forum where it is explained for older Versions but everytime there is an menu explaind in which you can choose Windows Authentication or Active Directory which is not available in my DNN-Version (7.1).

Can someone give me some hints?

 Thanks again for the Link and sorry I am still not able to get it running!

As I use DNN for Intranet i will use the Windows authentication.

I changed now the IIS Settings to only allow Windows Auhentication. Afterwards the Login vanished I got the always the 404 Error Page (for every Page):

No matter what i change in the web.config the Error is not changing.

  <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms name=".DOTNETNUKE" protection="All" timeout="60" cookieless="UseCookies" />
    </authentication>

Or using:

    <identity impersonate="true"/>
    <authentication mode="Windows">
    </authentication>

1) Do you maybe know why  I get this Error and how to fix it?

2) In the Link I found some Code like this:

<authentication mode="Windows|Forms|Passport|None"> </authentication>

Is it possible to run Windows and Form Authentication at the same time? (Like standard is Windows, but you can Login as Superuser) with something like this?

<identity impersonate="true"/>
    <authentication mode="Windows|Forms">
      <forms name=".DOTNETNUKE" protection="All" timeout="60" cookieless="UseCookies" />
    </authentication>-->
