Hi all.  I was reading this thread, and I'm curious to know how I can implement CAS authentication in the community edition of DNN, keeping in mind that I'm totally new to DNN.  I've followed the directions on https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CASC/.Net+Cas+Client before to set up CAS authentication in a .NET application, but I'm not sure how to get DNN to use the CAS authentication instead of its own.  Following the CAS directions with DNN just gets me a situation DNN still uses its own login screen, but never actually sets the user.  As in, I can type in my DNN username and password, but the user name in the upper-right hand corner doesn't change to my name; it just says "REGISTER".

The thread I was reading makes it sound like this would be easy starting in 4.6.  Any ideas?

Prior to 4.6 if you wanted to make any changes as far as login providers you had to make changes to the core DotNetNuke code which was difficult. Not difficult to make the actual changes but you would have to make those changes with every release of DotNetNuke and then recompile the source code. WIth the release of 4.6 you had the ability to code a provider and then piggy back it onto the DNN authentication. I.E. The Active Directory provider authenticates the user against the Active Directory first and does one of two things. If the user exists in the DNN database it logs them in, if it doesn't then it creates the user in DNN and then logs them in.

So, what you would need to do is create an authentication provider for CAS.

You can disable dnn standard login and use the new CAS authentication provider as the primary login.

My shop recently developed an authentication provider name AuthXP (google for it). If you are new to writing Dnn authentication provider, check out the AuthXP blog and download source code from opensource.indyneinc.com. When we first looked into writing the provider, there was not much online info to get started. We had to read code from existing providers to understand the concept.

Thanks for your replies and the advice. I'll take a look at this when I have a chance.

Hi again.  I've downloaded the DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory project.  I had to make two changes in the project file to get it to load:

<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" />


I also changed from using IIS to using the Visual Studio Development Server.  However, I get errors about various types not being defined, properties being inaccessible or undeclared, and others.  So many, in fact that I get "Maxmimum number of errors has been exceeded."

Any ideas?
