I'm in the process of creating a site where I want to use a single login system to access the main site and any number of child portals with independent role managment so that users can have different roles within each portal

 

I've read up on doing multiple portals, but no where is it made clear if children have their own accounts or not. Can DNN be made to work this way or am I going to have to do some tweaking ??

You'll have to do some tweaking.

You can duplicate the users in the portals with a DB trigger that adds the appropriate relationship to the UserPortals table, as well as registered the user in the Registered Users role in each portal with the UserRoles table.

There are third party modules that will allow you to share users across portals, I haven't used them in a number of years though.

I've been poking around the code, and it appears that I could create a new membership provider that always uses portal 0 for user auth, and perhaps a change to the cookies would be needed to make everything work off the portal 0 cookies (all the portals are going to be subdirs off the same domain, so there is no cross-site scripting involved)

Have a look at Michael Washington's  site at http://www.adefwebserver.com/DotNetNukeHELP/ and look for Portal Login.  I use a slightly modified version where I use portal 0 for main login and role management, then when I create a new portal which requires separate roles, I set up roles in portal 0 *and* the new portal and give the role name a short portal prefix so that it's obvious which portal it refers to.  Once you add a user to a role, when they login at the target portal the required roles and  properties are duplicated on the target portal.

I'll take a look but double login is not an option -- they have to login once and only once -- if they enter the site in one of the child portals, the login has to get them into the parent and all the other children in one shot.
