Today I received this error on all my portals and I am unable to login to any of them!  What is it I need to do?  As far as I know nothing was changed in the config file.

HELP!

** EDIT **

Forgot to to mention using 4.8.2 and AD provider was 1.0 now it is 1.0.03 (I think thats the new one)

Ended up getting into the portal although when I uninstalled the AD provider and reinstalled the new provider I get this error:

In the <httpModules> section of your web.config comment out all instances of <add name="Authentication"... />. That should at least get you back up an running.

What version of DNN are you running and what version of the AD provider? Have there been any other changes done to your portal recently? Is there a live URL where I can see the error?

Sorry Mike forgot to mention the versions earlier.  No live portal its Intranet only.

Here is my <httpmodules> node.  There is no reference to what you mention and not sure why.

 

httpModules> add name="Authentication" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.AuthenticationModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Authentication" / -->add name="Compression" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Compression.CompressionModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" />add name="RequestFilter" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.RequestFilter.RequestFilterModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" />add name="UrlRewrite" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewriteModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" />add name="Exception" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Exceptions.ExceptionModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" />add name="UsersOnline" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UsersOnline.UsersOnlineModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" />add name="DNNMembership" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Membership.MembershipModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" />add name="Personalization" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Personalization.PersonalizationModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" />add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />httpModules>

Hmmm it says it installed successfully and then complains but an error loading the files from the temporary folder and it looks like where it ran into the problem was when it went to make changes to your web.config (which is why your <httpModules> section doesn't have the line it needs).

Is this a live portal or just a development one? What I would suggest is Uninstalling the provider and then checking that the AD Provider dlls are deleted from the bin\Providers directory and that the ActiveDirectory directory is gone from DesktopModules\AuthenticationServices. Once that's done then I'd try the install again. I can't help thinking that something was left behind and that's part of the screwup.

EDIT: Oh and the exact line you should be looking for in the <httpModules> section is:

<add name="Authentication" type="DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.HttpModules.AuthenticationModule, DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory" />
