I have the same problem as gary. It's a clean install of rc2 install. I have the problem on 2003 iis6, with sql 2005 db.
HERE IS HOW I RECTIFIED THE LOGIN ERROR ISSUE.
The idea is to UNINSTALL the ActiveDirectory module and the Card Space Authentication Modules from the Dotnetnuke installation.
Here is how you can do it, after you find this error while trying to login.
1) Click on REGISTER. And Register a new user.
2) IF you havent configured your SMTP yet, you'll get an error message saying, "There was an error sending confirmation email", you'll see the "PROCEED TO LOGIN" link under it (DO NOT HIT THAT LINK YET)
3) First before proceeding to login, you'll have to grant this newly registered user the power of a host user. To do that open up your SQL DB using the Sql enterprise editor (eg: sql 2005 enterprise manager).
4) Open a Query Window within the SAME DATABASE you used to install the dotnetnuke installation.
5) Key in the command SELECT * FROM USERS ( and execute it )
6) FIND out out the UserID of your newly registered user ( WHICH IF YOUR DOING THE FIRST TIME SHOULD BE USERID=3)
7) Key in the query UPDATE USERS SET ISSUPERUSER='1' WHERE USERID='3' ( You could replace USERID='3' with any other UserID number corresponding the user you wish to give Super User rights)
8) After this Switch back to the browser window and click on PROCEED TO LOGIN.
9) Your now logged into the DNN PORTAL as a super user (TIME TO KNOCK OUT THE ERROR CREATING MODULES)
10) GO to the HOST -> EXTENSIONS
11) BE SURE YOUR VIEWING THE SITE IN EDIT MODE. CLICK ON THE EDIT PEN NEXT TO ACTIVE DIRECTORY MODULE
12) Once your in the ACTIVE DIRECTORY MODULE , CLICK ON UNINSTALL MODULE ( BE SURE TO CHECK THE DELETE ALL FILES OPTION TOO)
13) After uninstalling this module return back to the extensions page and click on the EDIT PEN Symbol for the CARD SPACE AUTHENTICATION MODULE
14) Uninstall this module too , after checking the "Delete all files"
15) NOW LOGOUT and LOGIN
EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL !!!!
Hurray :)
Have Fun guys...
