Hi. I'm really impressed with the features of dotnetnuke, but I have a problem with authentication:

I run 3.2.2, with single sign on enabled, users are automatically synchronized when they are logged into the domain. However, it seems like dotnetnuke writes a persistent cookie with auth.-info. If I later use the same browser, this time authenticated against AD as another user, I get logged in as the SAME user as I was before...

Also, if a user chooses "log out", he is not able to get authenticated again until deleting the dotnetnuke-cookie...

Is this a bug, or is it just me missing som configuration of this auth-cookie ?

Cookie Issue
With Windows 2000/XP cookies should not persist between different user logins.
Not sure about this one.

Log-Out Issue
To re-authenticate after clicking the logout link do the following
         http://your-portal/admin/security/windowssignin.aspx

Not sure about the cookie stuff at all.  When using autologin shouldn't you be pointing users to /portal/admin/security/windowssignin.aspx?

That is what works for me.  I then put a links module with a link to the same url, just in case someone logs out unintentionally.

I've read and heard a lot of people say they're 'pointing users' to the windowssignin.aspx file to log them into their site.  I'm just curious how people are doing that exactly. 

Are end-users bookmarking the link to /portal/admin/security/windowssignin.aspx?  Seems kind of long.

Or do most people have a hyperlink on another site, say one called "Intranet", that links them to the windowssignin.aspx page?

For my company's current intranet, we have people go to http://ourserver.ourdomain.com which is our Intranet server and they are automatically taken to the site.  I'd like to do the same in DNN.

Perhaps this is more of an IIS question, but I'm wondering if there's a cleaner way to have an auto-login without having such a long URL.

I have links pointing to that file in several places.  Using AD GPO, I push out favorites to our website, which is that file, and force the students to use that URL as their start page in IE.  Then, for those people that don't have it forced as their start page, or use the favorites to access the website, I created a custom login page that contains a link to that file for IntraNet users and the normal login box for "public" users.

Not a perfect way of doing it, but it works for now.  Note that this solution is only for "psuedo-mixed-mode" systems.  If you want an Intranet-Only system, uncomment that line in the web.config and everyone accessing your site will automatically be logged in without having to specifically access that file at all.
