Hi,

The RootDomain tooltip contains this text.

Root Domain in format yourdomain.com or DC=yourdomain,DC=com. Leave this value blank if you want to obtain Active Directory objects from root forest

Can anybody explaine me the sentence 'Leave this value blank if you want to obtain Active Directory objects from root forest'.

Thanks,

Sri

Under Active Directory if you have a parent domain (company.domain.com) with a number of child domains (sales.domain.com, marketing.domain.com, accounting.domain.com, etc) it's called a forest. If you leave that line blank it should automatically try to authenticate against company.domain.com.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply.

But when kept rootdomain as blank it is giving below error.

Error: is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.ADSI.Utilities.AddADSIPath(String Path, Path ADSIPath) at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.ADSI.Utilities.GetRootEntry(Path ADSIPath) at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.ADSI.ADSIProvider.GetNetworkStatus() at DotNetNuke.Authentication.ActiveDirectory.Settings.UpdateSettings() --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I am using DNN : 4.9.0 and AD : 1.0.4

If i type rootdomain as LDAP://DC=..,DC.. then it is giving below error

Accessing Global Catalog:
FAIL
Checking Root Domain:
OK
Accessing LDAP:
FAIL
Find all domains in network:
Could not access LDAP to obtain domains info
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

Mike, Do i need to change any code or any setting. (Authentication line commented and integrated security to winsign.aspx.. tried before updating and after updating AD)

Mike,can you please help me to resolve this issue,I am trying to resolve this issue for the past 3 days.

Any suggestion will be appriciated.

Thanks,

Srinivas

Based on that error message I think you need to use impersonation in your web.config. This is covered in the documentation.
