Hi,

it's so important to know if the below is feasible or not and how to do it:

i'm using DNN 4.8.4 and , DB : Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

I have multiple users on my DNN, and I want to give them the privilege to connect to an analysis database (Analysis DB, that uses the Active directory authentication).

I want to group my users under different groups, where the connection to my Analysis DB would be under 1 authenticated user (registered in my Active directory) for each group.

Exp:

User created on DNN: 

user1

user2

user3

Users in the Active Directory that have the privilege to connect to analysis:

userad1

userad2

I want that:

User 1 can connect to my DNN using his user name but the connection to analysis will be under the user name: userad1.

User 2 can connect to my DNN using his user name but the connection to analysis will be under the user name: userad1

User 3 connects and. to my DNN using his user name but the connection to analysis will be under the user name: userad2.

 

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Elie

There's currently no way to automate what you're wanting to do and you'd have to write your own code to do it.

At this point the way I would do it would be to create two security roles in DNN and put the users that you want to use each AD account into their respective roles. And, as much as it pains me to say this security wise, then send the group an email with the username/password that they need to use to access the analysis db.
