Just upgraded my site to DNN 4.3.2 and love the encorporation of AD login. My question is if there is a way for users that are set up in active directory and are in the intranet to automatically log in with their AD credentials once they hit the page. I dont want them to have to log in, we are trying to set up a one logon system and so far its going great. Dont want the webpage to be the only thing that cant work with the plan.

Got the integration working so when the user hits the page they automatically log in.

Still some questions though
1. when logged in it does not show user name or any information and doesnt show AD users in DNN

2. Will guest accounts outside of our network be able to access site when AD autologin is configured the way it is

Hey there,

To answer 1, I ran into this same problem the other day.
The problem is, the login control shows the "DisplayName" field, which is not pulled over from AD.

So what I did was I edited the ADMIN/SKINS/USER.ASCX.VB file, line 111, and replaced:
hypRegister.Text = objUserInfo.DisplayName
With this:
hypRegister.Text = objUserInfo.FirstName & " " & objUserInfo.LastName

Hope this helps!

btharp,

For #1 you could also try the solution I posted at "DisplayName instead of FirstName???" thread. It talks about modifying dbo.AddUser stored procedure to infer DisplayName from the first & last names.

For #2, that depends on the settings in IIS. If Integrated Windows authentication is required, then whoever accesses the site must have a valid AD logon. You can, however, enable anonymous access for the guest users outside of the network. (Disclaimer: I have not actually tried this, but know it will work in theory!) What I am not sure of is whether guest users won't be signed in at all, or will be signed in using the anonymous Windows identity (e.g. IUSR_MACHINENAME). From this article I believe it to be the latter.

Note, that IE will chose the Windows authentication when IIS supports both, the anonymous and the NTLM. However, other browsers may have different implementation, so using IE on the network is recommended. Doesn't matter for outside access, since only anonymous will be used.

Hope this help,
Lev.

What did you do to make users login automatically?
