Im using DNN 5.0.1 until 5.1.0 comes out and I'm trying to figure out how I can import users to the system from Active Directory so that I can set up the appropriate security roles for use on the system. Is there any way to do this? I have heard that I might be able to using a script of some sort but found no information on the actual script.  I'm also trying to get specific information and attributes back from AD when a user goes to the site. Attributes that are contained within the users fields in AD I want to port directly over to DNN. I've tried to add user attributes to DNN for the user profiles and named them exactly like the ones in AD but with no luck. nothing seems to get pulled over. Am I missing something here? I thought it was supposed to do that? Help?

Also I believe I asked awhile back about Authentication Types for the AD Provider and what they meant or did to affect how the provider works. Does anyone have any information on these?

Please Help

awesome, thanks for the link. I'll give it a try.

I am getting the basic information attributes pulle din from AD. that's good. however it won't do it for my account which I find weird. It doesn't seem to dynamically pull the information in each time they log in if there are any changes or if it's different from the one in DNN. If you could post the full list of the attributes that get pulled in that would be awesome. I will probably try and get the source code to see if I can get it to pull additional information in. Any Pointers on where I should look to modify the code a little?

Is that authentication types information available on msdn? I'll take a look and see if I can find it.

Thanks for your response. You reply much faster than any one else on these forums it seems.
