I have AD authentication working.  However, User appear to have to add the domain information to their login.  This doesn't seem right.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  the next question is; Is there a way to configure the general user login to always authenticate against AD and have a special url for the dnn accounts?

I have an instance of 4.08.03 w/ AD version .03.

To change it so that users don't have to enter the domain you can use this script (http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/89/threadid/60815/scope/posts/Default.aspx) but you have to make the changes to DesktopModules/AuthenticationServices/ActiveDirectory/Login.ascx.

Unfortunately no there isn't a way to make the general (DNN Login) to authenticate against the AD as it's a separate provider. When your users go to manually login they should have a choice between DNN Login and Windows Login but they'll have to select Windows Login (* See below). However, if all your users are going to be internal users only then you can disable the Standard Login under Admin->Authentication and only the Windows Login will show up when they select Login.

* If a user has already logged in at least once and their password hasn't changed then they'll be able to login using the DNN Standard but they'll have to login using Domain\username to login as that's how their accounts are stored in the DNN database. However any role synchronization will not occur.

Mike,

Thank you for the input.  I have the scenario where ALL my users are external Intranet users ( www.cl-p.com, www.nu.com, www.wmeco.com, www.psnh.com ) and the dnn login is of little use to our users.  I already tried removing the dnn authentication and just left AD. ( that didn't go so well ).   Is there a way to use only AD?  If so can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks again.

What didnt' go so well when you removed the DNN authentication (you just disabled it in Admin->Authentication right?)?. That's how I've done it on our school's portal. The only time I run into problems is when I've done a major update to DNN and forgetting to reset the minRequiredPasswordLength to the limit our domain requires.

Actually,  I disabled it in Host->Host Settings [ Authentication ]  I unchecked the dnn authentiction module and left the active directory enabled.  The result was: Logins -didn't work w/ the AD accounts.  Forgot Password- worked, Register - appeared to work but never created an AD account only a dnn user(?).

For whatever reason when I set it the other way ( Admin->Authentication)  It throws an error (see bellow) but, the results are the same as above, also I cannot figure out how to login for admin/host :
