Thanks for the info Mike, very helpful.  I upgraded to the 1.0.5 module and the last login dates are correct now. Still, some users are getting the login popup.

Here are some addtional things I see.  I had both the AD and the DNN authentication type enabled but login controls turned off.  (Now, only AD is enabled). In the logs, I show the majority of users with WindowsAuthentication: True, however, several entries show success without it.  For the users that were getting prompted, one fix was to go into their profile and force a password change.  Previously I had set their DNN passwords to 12345 in an attempt to force an AD resync (did not fix it) then followed that with a force password change. Then the users were then able to login fine.  However, if they logout and go to send themselves a password reminder, DNN sends them 12345.  I'm assuming that when using AD to authenticate, no password info is synced back to DNN?

Also, valid AD groups will still not update DNN role memberships; as I said before, it is actually removing them from any matching DNN roles.   ??

Last, can the remember login and forgot password options be easily turned off?

Thanks again for the replies.

In the .05 release that you're using the password should be actually randomized in the database so that their AD password is never written to it (this was a change from previous releases). That way someone can't get another user's password via DNN.

Role synching: I can't remember but are you using impersonation? In the past when I've seen this it usually meant that I had to use impersonation because NETWORK SERVICE wasn't able to read all of the user's properties.

Login/Forgot passwords display. What I've done on our school's website is open the login.asx under <website>/admin/authentication, found the contorls and added a visible="False" to the control line. I.E. change the following line:

<asp:checkbox id="chkCookie" class="Normal" resourcekey="Remember" text="Remember Login" runat="server" />
to
<asp:checkbox id="chkCookie" class="Normal" resourcekey="Remember" text="Remember Login" runat="server" visible="False" />

The only side effect of this is that you have to remember to do it everytime you do an upgrade of the DNN core code.

Great thanks! That fixed it. I did the same for the 'Forgot Password' link and that worked as well! And yes, I'm OK with the side effect; if I can get the AD login working properly I will probably NEVER upgrade again.  :)

I've doublechecked the existing users and sent password reminders... the password is either the AD password it had previously synced or the temp password I set it to... it is not getting a random one unless I specifically do a force password change.  The random password may only be being set for first time logins but I don't see it happening for existing users at all.

It should happen the next time an existing user successfully logs in. I'm not near my code base at the moment but I'll find it and post it later.
