Hello

After being away from DNN a while I installed a new portal today to try and get it integrated into our Active directory. I have read through some posts and also checked the step by step guide that was linked from this forum. I didnt get very far until I encountered an error. After filling out the Authentication "form" while logged in as admin, I pressed update and got this:

An error has occurred.
Error: Windows Authentication is currently unavailable.

I tried this on an clean install (nothing installed at all besides the automatic stuff that are in by default after the installation wizard is finished), on local IIS on a DB from a sql server express DB (not the mdf file in the app_data directory). I use SQL server authentication on the database, and have a specific user run as DB owner.

If anyone can give me some help I would really appreciate it.

Best regards

PS How do I make the editor only jump one line down when I press Enter, rather than 2 which seems to be default? DS.

Thanx for the hint, that worked like a charm. I have been fiddling a little with my own user to check it out and it seems to work flawlessly. I have another question that originally was spawned from an AD guy I know, and that is how the passwords are transmitted from DNN login to authenticate with the AD? Are they sent in plain-text over http or through some sort of encryption?

I got the suggestion to add a certificate to the site to ensure that someone doest hijack the password that is sent, is that recommended when using AD integration with a DNN portal?

Thanx again for your help
Best regards
