Windows XP

Has anyone got AD authentication working with the site running on Windows XP Pro. I'm trying to decide to give up and go ahead and publish to staging or work more on it.

Thanks.

Re: Windows XP

The team really hooked us up with this module. Many thanks. I look forward to seeing the source when/if it's becomes available. Great job.

I did finially get this working with Windows XP and as I suspected it wasn't a code problem but an environment problem. Right now I've tested DotNetNuke 4.3 code line with W2K Server, W3K Web Edition Server and Windows XP Pro. The XP and W2K installs needed impersonate on in the web.config yet the w3k didn't not. I suspect this is because the some of the new features with IIS on W3K application pooling but I didn't look into it further.

I also had a problem where the system administrator restricted my AD account a few days before I started running tests which cuased issue. I know nothing about AD but he said something about granting me read again.

So I would know the limitations of the Form Sign-In and Windows Sign-In features of the Active Direction Integration I ran some test cases and including them below. If someone sees something that they have working that I don't, please say something. After running the tests we've decided to go with Window's Sign-In as the default.

Test Description	Pass/Failed
Form Sign-In Tests
Form Sign-In using AD account.	Pass
Form Sign-In group sync using AD account (first time login)	Pass
Form Sign-In group sync using AD account (second login)	Failed
Form Sign-In group sync after deleting a AD user from a AD group that is also and assigned role in DNN. This should remove the user from the DNN role as well.	Failed
Form Sign-In group sync after adding user to a new AD group that’s also in DNN.	Failed
Form personal data (address, phone, etc) sync using AD account (first login)	Pass
Form personal data (address, phone, etc) sync using AD account (second login)	Failed
An AD user changes their window’s password, and then is able to login to DNN using new password through Form Sign-In.	Pass
An AD user changes password in DNN and has no effect (always default to AD password)	Pass
Add an AD user to a DNN only role and not have it effected by Form Sign-In This is to see if you can have non AD roles and DNN roles mixed with AD users.	Pass
Passed: 6 Failed: 4

Windows Sign-in login using AD account	Pass
Windows Sign-In group sync using AD account (first time login)	Pass
