Hi,

I’m new to DNN (ver 06.01.03) and to this forum and I hope I’ve posted this n the right place!

Question- I have inherited a DNN site and have been reviewing my predecessor notes.  He comments he couldn’t get the Windows Authentication working and I somehow managed to seamless sign-on working.  However when I check Admin>Extensions>Authentication Systems - DNN_ActiveDirectoryAuthentication settings I noticed the error message –

Error: is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Access is denied. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80070005): Access is denied. at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_IsContainer() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntries.ChildEnumerator..ctor(DirectoryEntry container) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntries.GetEnumerator() at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.Settings.CheckPipelineMode() at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.Settings.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Can someone explain this to me?

Thanks in advanced for any assistance.

Steve

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your quick.

Setup-

I have added users to the DNN application as follows DomainName\UserLoginID and set up IIS Version 7 to Windows Authentication enabled. So when that user opens the DNN website they open as themselves with their assigned roles.

Web server details -
O/S Windows 2008 Standard

DNN details -
Provider not too sure what you mean by this! But I am using DNN_ActiveDirectoryAuthentication version 5.0.2

User PC details -
Windows 7
IE version 9
