 Hi,

I have configured my AD in DNN and the authentication part works beautifully.

But when going to the root default.aspx I am not redirected to the windows login, i just see the standard home page.

I can then click on "login" and then login (either with AD or portal authentication)

If I go to the WindowsSignin.aspx page (by editing the URL) i can enter my AD username and password but after authenticating me i am given a "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error.

Problem:

Users are not automatically logged in.

If users are given the link to WindowsSignin.aspx they enter their username+password and are given an erroe message.

Already done:

I have set up Active directory authentication in DNN and my users can login using the login page.

I have set the WindowsSignin.aspx to only have Windows Authentication in IIS

The rest of the website is set to have both Windows and Anonymous authentication.

The website has been added as a "Trusted site" in IE.

Using DNN 04.09.01.

Have added this into the web.config:

<add name="Authentication" type="DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.HttpModules.AuthenticationModule, DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory" />

Any help will be appreciated,

Thx

Namret

You shouldn't have had to add the <add name="Authentication"..../> to your web.config as it's done when you install the provider. Can you post the exact error that you're getting after trying to go to WindowsSignin.aspx?

 Hi, here is the exact errosr i get when i try and go to the windowsSignin.aspx page  (This is after entering my domain name and password):

"The page cannot be displayed

The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

Please try the following:

  • Click the refresh.gif (82 bytes) Refresh button, or try again later.
  • If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.
  • To check your connection settings, click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. On the Connections tab, click Settings. The settings should match those provided by your local area network (LAN) administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).
  • See if your Internet connection settings are being detected. You can set Microsoft Windows to examine your network and automatically discover network connection settings (if your network administrator has enabled this setting).
    1. Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options.
    2. On the Connections tab, click LAN Settings.
    3. Select Automatically detect settings, and then click OK.
  • Some sites require 128-bit connection security. Click the Help menu and then click About Internet Explorer to determine what strength security you have installed.
  • If you are trying to reach a secure site, make sure your Security settings can support it. Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. On the Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section and check settings for SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, PCT 1.0.
  • Click the Back button to try another link.

 

Cannot find server or DNS Error

You've got some other problems I think with the settings on that page. Have you gone through the documentation on setting up the AD Provider?

 I have followed every step to the letter, and the DNN portal worked perfectly with Active directory login (thank you!), I then changed a few settings in IIS and the auto-login was wacked!

I tried re-installing the portal, but the same error occurs.

It seems to authenticate me with my AD login credentials but, when loading the portal, it fails.  I think it is a setting in IIS that needs to change.  At the moment the website's (and all its dependants') directory security is set to allow anonymous access as well as windows authentication, with the exception of the WindowsSignin.aspx which is set to only allow Windows authentication.

I am using Windows Server 2003 R2.
