  Windows Authentication

  Jan 12, 2005 03:56 PM|LINK

  I have installed the Time Tracker on my Client Machine (WINDOWS XP PRO SP2, IIS 5.1) and have successfully changed the web.config file to use windows authentication instead of Forms authentication: I have since installed the time tracker project on a Windows 2003 Server runnig IIS 6.0 and made the same modifications to the web.config file. When I run the page I get the following error displayed in the browser: Server Error in '/TTWebCSVS' Application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Source Error: An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

  I seem to have found the answer on my own. I changed the to and this seems to make it work. I don't understand why it did not work with ActiveDirectory. I would have thought ActiveDirectory to be the prefered method...

  Hi mzem,

  I want to enable Windows authentication in my Time tracker application. 

  Did the settings as per your comments.

  <add key="UserAccountSource" value="WindowsSAM" />

  <authentication mode="Windows" /> 
  
  <!-- IMPERSONATION 
  To gain access to an Active Directory, the ASPNET process must impersonate an dentity 
  that has sufficient access rights. 
  --> 
  
  <identity impersonate="false" userName="MyDomain\UserNameWithAccessToAD" 
  password="" />

  But, Authentication was not successful. Error message:

  HTTP 401.1 - Unauthorized: Logon Failed
  Internet Information Services

  Did you make any change to database table 'aspnet_users' or 'aspnet_membership' in order to make the windows auth work.

  Or 

  Did you create a new class 'TTUser' for the same purpose.

  please guide me to enable windows auth in Time Tracker application.

  Thanks,

  Anil Kumar
