Hello DNN developers and users,

I have been searching through the forums, but could not find exact problem and solution for it. But first things first, i.e. my configuration:

DNN 4.08.00

AD provider 1.00.04 (1.0.4.62303 as identified by the dll file version)

I do not use impersonation.

Windows 2003 standard with AD

IIS 6.0

Everything on one server. From security point of view its bad, but let us leave this issue aside.

I have installed AD provider and using it. Everything works except the account info/password synchronization between DNN site and AD. This is what I observe:

1. Loging through "Windows login" tab for the first time with AD account is successfull.

2. Account is created in DNN database. Roles are synchronized.

3. If I try to change the password, DNN reports it has successfully been changed.

     a) However if I login with AD account with new password from "Windows login" tab it gives me standard error - passoword or username bad...

     b) If I login with initial AD password through "Windows login" tab - login is successfull.

     c) If I login with AD credentials, but from "Standard" tab with new password, login is successfull.

4. If I change account properties in DNN any changes are reflected in AD.

Thus I am making an assumption the synchronization is not working on my setup.

Any ideas?

Thanks

hmm, so it seams I missunderstood the AD provider functions/scope however i think I saw in other threads people reporting, that they have synchronized account details to AD... in my case two way would be preferable If it is not in the current code/versions is this planned for the future?

anyway what to do if users doesn't have dirrect access to AD itself, but I want them to be able to change their AD password and to use it for login, is there any workaround in DNN, or maybe in the future releases it is planned as a feature?

Also there is a possibility to hide "Windows logon" tab, will that help in my situation? i.e. either user logs-on for the first time or not, he can login and change his password, and they shouldn't be aware to use Windows or stadard login tabs?... not sure if I made myself clear

I didn't quite understood, what do you mean by "it's stored in the DNN database as a random password all the time instead of just on automatic login". You mean, when using automatic login the random password is stored in DNN, while using usuall AD (user/pass) login it is stored as is in DNN (in version 1.00.04)? what other features/corrections will be made for 1.00.05 release? when it is planned to be released? as I understand 1.00.xx releases are mostly for DNN 4.x, while in DNN 5.x it is already being rewriten?

Thanks

Thank you Mike for clarifying these things to me.
