hello,

I am having a huge issue related to Active Directory. I am even ready to pay for anyone who might solve my problem. I need your support desperately.

My setup is: Windows 2003 Web server, member of AD. IIS 6.0, DNN 432

I can login to my portal using Active Directory Authentication and the users are created automatically which is fine but when I go to

Admin/User Accounts/ and click on “ALL USERS”, I get an error. The error details are:

If I go to

Admin/Security Roles/Portal Editors and click on “Edit Security Roles” pencil icon for “Portal Editors”, and then click on the link “Manage Users in this Role “ then only thing I see is the “x” icon. I don’t see the username , Effictive date etc. but I can see that they are there but the names just don’t show up.

4.3.2 is a Release Candidate and the final version 4.3.3 has tons of fixes. I would try the update first.

I had the same issue, with 4.3.4. I found that if I manually updated the DisplayName field in the Users table, the error was resolved. To resolve for now, I added this line to the FillUserInfo Sub in ADSIProvider.vb:
            .DisplayName = CheckNullString(UserEntry.Properties(ADSI_CNAME).Value.ToString)

This required a recompile of DotNetNuke.Authentication.ADSIProvider.dll.

You could also work around this with a SQL trigger that fires on Inserts to the Users table. Set the DisplayName field equal to FirstName + ' ' + LastName.
