Hello All

I just installed the AD plugin .03 Beta version and all went well. According to this link:  http://www.dotnetnuke.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=Vx0jVFSKdQM%3D&tabid=852&mid=2418, it asks me to enter my domain username and password in the web config file which I think is a security risk.

Anyway, there are two things I would like to do.

1. Allow all users on the intranet domain to get to the dotnetnuke website without having to login at all. Which means once they log in to the network, they should be able to get on to the website.

2. After following the set up instructions in the link above I can no longer log in to the dotnetnuke website. I tried using my domain\username and password and that didn't work. I tried the Administrator and Superuser accounts and they would not work either.

I can no longer login to my website. Can someone please tell me what i've done wrong?

Thanks heaps,

Derek

I don't much like having to put a domain username/password into the web.config but it is what it is. I've always used an account that had very limited rights on the domain so that even if it was comprimised no damage could be done. Also in the instructions it doesn't say you have to enter it but that you might have to enter it.

As for not being able to log in. I think a misstep may have been made somewhere along the line. When you click on the Login on your skin are you getting a window that has both Standard Login and Windows Login? If worse comes to worse you can comment out the <add name="Authentication"..... /> in the <httpModules> section and it will disable the provider so that it's not trying to automatically login.

Just the documentation that you referenced earlier in your first post. When you setup the AD provider did you disable the DNN Authentication Settings under Admin->Authentication? When you try to login manually are you seeing both a Standard and Windows Login button? If you are make sure that Standard is selected when you try to login.
