Hello,

I'm basically a newbie to DNN, however for the last week I've been trying to set up my companies Intranet to work with active directory so my users can access the portal without having to log in. Is this possible?

Configuration:

DNN v.4.3.5 on a W2K server with SP4 (including AD fix for 4.3.5)
.NET 2.0
SQL server 2005 (resides on a different server, same domain)

One of my problems is getting Authentication to work. I enter all the correct settings and it finds the root domain OK but has trouble accessing the LDAP. I've had it find everything successfully only once before (on an earlier version of DNN), but I cannot get a successful authentication. Restarting IIS didn't seem to help here either.

In the web.config, I've uncommented the Authentication line under <httpModules>, and set both connection strings for the correct SQL server.

In IIS, I've made sure .NET 2.0 is being used, and I've disabled anonymous access to the site.

I've been able to log in with a user and it will automatically create a user account, but does not pull any information for that account from active directory. Upon the user accessing the site again, it won't popup a login window, but does require the user to login again at a later time.

Is there anything I'm missing? I've followed several users guidelines off of these forums but my main problem seems to be getting the authentication module to work. The only thing I need to do is have the site set so my users will not be prompted for a login at all and the site will automatically recognize who the user is based on their login to the domain. How can I do this, if at all?

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. :)
