Hi,

I'm getting my feet wet with dnn 5.01 and everything seems to be flowing smoothly (for the most part). I do have one problem that I'm trying to figure out for the life of me and I just can't do it - and I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.

I wish to pull down several extra fields from within Acitve Directory into each User Profile. I have it working now just fine with the normal fields, but some fields just aren't working properly - Department, Manager, Title, home phone#, IP Phone, etc. I think i've figured out that I might have to recompile the .dll in order to put the proper fields in to the authentication module for it to work, but honestly, I haven't really a clue where to begin - let alone how to disassemble dll's in order to place code into it.

Can someone help me out or point me to some literature maybe on how to do this properly? BTW - this is for a corporate environment and we're moving from a basic intranet site to dnn and so far everything is good - but having a "phone-type-directory-listing" available to the staff is a pretty big thing here.

 

Thanks in advance!!

Well I found the section, changed what needed to be changed - but for the life of me, I can't compile it properly. Everytime I try to load the .proj in Visual Studio 2008 it says System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException and it doesn't load....I realize that this isn't a Visual Studio forum, and I appreciate the help in pointing me to the proper area to make the necessary changes - but I'm totally unsure how to load this properly or what to do in order to compile it so I can use it. If anyone has any hints for me - I'd be greatly appreciated as this has me quite confused at the moment at least :(

I'm trying to alter the ActiveDirectory_05.00.02_Source to include 'Department', but get 102 errors when I open the Solution and can't build the new dll. Most of the warnings look like... 'Namespace or type specified in the Imports DotNetNuke.Security doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found.' and "UserCreateStatus is not defined"

What am I doing wrong? Do these files need to be sitting in a DNN site or something??

Thanks for any help.
