Hi again.

actually, all is functionning on my portal (thank you very much for your kindly support).

I just need the script for suppress the domain name in the authentication box. Could you post the link about that ?

Thank you in advance...

Hello,

I'm back - one more time -on this post... Of course, I have a new problem.

After our discussion, I have mixed-mode identification perfectly functionning... on my test server.

Now, I'm trying to do the real installation, on the production website.

The main difference is the OS. I have a Win2k3 on the test server and Win2K on the produciton server (I know, it's strange... but it's my situation).

I make exactly the same config on the production server than the test server and I have a new problem when I try to activate the Windows authentication on my portal.

I think I found the problem, but I don't see any solution

The problem is the connection between my server and the domain controler. I receive a "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password" in DNN's Event viewer.

When I look in the Domain Controler Event viewer, I have the following record :

Logon Failure:
Reason: Unknown user name or bad password
User Name: ASPNET
Domain: SERVEUR5
Logon Type: 3
Logon Process: NtLmSsp
Authentication Package: NTLM
Workstation Name: SERVEUR5

Yeah, my portal is up & running with AD identification !

For memory : My portal is installed on a Win2K server and I needed to authenticate users by AD (Win2K domain controller).

The (last) problem was : in Win2K, the framework .Net is running by the ASPNET local user. Of course, this local user is not allowed to interact with Active Directory.

The solution that I found is to execute framework with a domain user. For that I've just added the correct parameters in machine.config (C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\[version]\CONFIG).

I found information about that behind this link : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/En-US/library/aa579070.aspx 

(make an iisreset/restart after changing machine.config).

After that, it is necessary to give some access rights to the new user running framework ASP.NET. I found response to my questions about that in the following discussion http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=135969&SiteID=1  (posts of СђrΐsτσρhΞr ScЋδlτξη & Phil Grigg).

And then, all is running on my portal.

I hope this information can be useful for somebody.

Special thanks to Mike for the time given to my problem.
