Well, in that project we just used a COM class called ADS(something) and we left the fields needed for the connection blank. I wasn't talking about the fields in the AD-provider settings of course...

I have impersonation set to true in my web.config, perhaps I should try again without it... I can't check right now, because I'm at a customer until next week... The project is rather urgent though, and the AD-authentication is the only thing slowing it down atm, I was planning on just deploying and hoping that it works on the customers network :-) As I might have mentioned earlier, our network (or AD actually) tends to be a pain the rear end.

Well, I've just about tried anything now... no impersonation, impersonation without username, impersonation with admin account... I just can't get through to AD. We ran into some problems with using the import tool, which doesn't appear to be much good on the webserver.At this point, the only way I'm able to query the AD, is on localhost with impersonation set to the admin account, leaving the domain/username/password empty (on the import tool). AD authentication still hasn't connected. I've looked through the code of the import tool and it comes to this line:

directoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry(totalDomain);

with "totalDomain" being string.Empty.

How can this be working? How can I do this with the AD provider?

I tried looking for answers in the source code of the AD provider, but the package seems to contain the same things as the install package... no source code :-(

The source code is in the ActiveDirectory Source Files.resources file. It's actually a .zip so just change the extenstion (or install the source version onto your dev system and the files will be extracted).

I see, I thought that resources file was a bit large :-)

Anyway, I just installed the AD-provider at the client and it connects just fine. I can't seem to login with any windows account though...

- install ad provider -> check
- configuration settings to connect to ad -> check
- disable anonymous access to WindowsSignin.aspx
- set impersonation to true in web.config
- attempt to login using windows authentication (the form does show the option for it) -> Login failed

The event viewer shows me "Invalid password" in the method "DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.ChangePassword".

Why does it even want to do ChangePassword?

I just got another user to test with, it works fine with that one... Probably the previous user wasn't in the right groups or something? :-)
