iacyclone wroteI think this should be a simple question to answer but have searched the forums and documentation and have not found the answer. Can I have users self register and have DNN create an AD account for the user using the Windows Authentication module? If so where can I find documentation on this? If not are there any 3rd party modules (free or purchase) that anyone knows of?
I am using DNN v 4.3.5.
Thanks,
Steve
hi steve,
I'm not part of the staff but also I am having problem on these.. What I can tell you is that on the forums you can find the "mixed mode", that is, forms & AD login. in which you can login automatically and logout (you can't in AD mode) and then you can create accounts (self register).
With the mixed mode, the AD Account is auto-created and you can modify it later.
The problem on this is that it doesn't use the right credentials, it is just using the AD to LOGIN. Nothing more. everything is being used as NT Authority/SYSTEM in 2000 systems and ASPNET in XP systems.
That is bad if you use other modules that require the dotnetnuke portal / Asp.net to pass by the actual credentials (which is being done if we do nothing...) but with only the identification of NT Authority/ASPNET and that launches to the garbage our integrated security...
I'm trying to get a fix on this or at least an indication on what can I do.
Well... the thing is that with mixed mode you can do what you need. but take in account they will be NT Authority/ASPNEt and not the users of the domain..
Hope that helps,
Jose Luis Latorre
