When I go into the Authenication selection under admin and attempt to start the windows authenication installation here is the trouble i am having:

 

Windows Authenication: checked

Syncronize Role: Unchecked

Provider: ADSIAuthenicationProvider

Authentication Type: Delegation

Root Domain: dc=this,dc=that,dc=com

And a username and password that have access to the AD on the network.

 

Here is the error I get back:

Error: Windows Authentication 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.Security.Authentication.ADSI.Utilities.AddADSIPath(String Path, Path ADSIPath) at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSI.Utilities.GetRootEntry(Path ADSIPath) at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSI.Utilities.GetRootEntry() at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSIProvider.GetNetworkStatus() at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationController.NetworkStatus() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Authentication.AuthenticationSettings.cmdAuthenticationUpdate_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

 

Does anyone have any ideas on why i would be getting this error?  Thank you for any help!

Well i found the issue Actually what I had to do was use

Root Domain: this.that.com

instead of

Root Domain: dc=this,dc=that,dc=com

For some reason the DC format was giving an error.

I had similar issues. I'm no VB wizard (give me C# any day), but the case sensitive code in the constructor for DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSI.Configuration looks fishy to me. Try using capital "DC=" to see if that fixes it too.

Try

'Temporary fix this setting as TRUE for design, to be removed when release

mConfigDomainPath = authConfig.RootDomain

mDefaultEmailDomain = authConfig.EmailDomain

mUserName = authConfig.UserName

mPassword = authConfig.Password

mAuthenticationType = CType([Enum].Parse(GetType(AuthenticationTypes), authConfig.AuthenticationType), AuthenticationTypes)

' IMPORTANT: Remove ADSIPath, to be added later depends on accessing method

mRootDomainPath = ADSI.Utilities.ValidateDomainPath(mConfigDomainPath)

mRootDomainPath = Right(mRootDomainPath, mRootDomainPath.Length - mRootDomainPath.IndexOf("DC="))

Catch exc As Exception

mProcessLog += exc.Message & "<br>"

End Try
