Thanks again. WRT Windows Authtentication, I'm having trouble implementing it. You mention in the email that you sent out that it is based on the original IBuySpy Implentation. Can I look to the threads on the original IBuySpy for assistance? The problem that I'm having is that I can't seem to implement the Roles. Admin tab is not showing up for the users in the Admin Role, etc. Thanks 2003-02-26T09:38:30-05:00157265http://forums.asp.net/p/157165/157265.aspx/1?Re+Windows+Authentication Sean, One other point... when I use the tag , I'm getting an error that says Unrecognized tag 'identity' in the config file. I am able to authenticate using what's suggested in the original IBuySpy: But I can't get authorization to work.

Additionally, I think a source of your problem is that you are not using impersonation. If you don't, ASP.Net runs under the local ASPNET user account, or in my case, since I'm on a Domain controller w/o local accounts, the account I specified in Machine.config. I finally got impersonation to work. In Shauns code, is an element contained in the element. It should NOT be nested. It should be seperate. I'm put together a small aspx page that Shows what Authentication method is being used, what account you are logged in as and what account ASP.Net is running under. If you want me to email it to you, just send me your address. Good luck. 2003-02-27T14:21:43-05:00159256http://forums.asp.net/p/157165/159256.aspx/1?Re+Windows+Authentication don't change the case statement to check for negotiate. Replace it with this code: If TypeOf Context.User.Identity Is WindowsIdentity Then Dim objUser As New UsersDB() Dim dr As SqlDataReader = objUser.GetSingleUserByEmail(_portalSettings.PortalId, Context.User.Identity.Name) If dr.Read() Then intUserId = dr("UserId") End If dr.Close() Else intUserId = Int32.Parse(Context.User.Identity.Name) End If this is tested and works better Glen 2003-02-27T23:09:20-05:00159335http://forums.asp.net/p/157165/159335.aspx/1?Re+Windows+Authentication Glen, That seems much better structured, this should probably be a fix in the next release.

Anyone else experiencing this? I'm trying to decipher what happens in the global.asax. I only intend on using this in an intranet environment so I'm trying to separate what's needed for forms vs. windows authentication. Any guidence appreciated. 2003-02-28T17:22:45-05:00177977http://forums.asp.net/p/157165/177977.aspx/1?Re+Windows+Authentication Once Windows Authentication is running how do you specify the link between Groups and Roles? Is it as simple as creating a Role like Domain\Group. I've been struggling with this for a couple of weeks (really only for a few hours here and there). DB issues have been resolved, thank goodness. Currently I'm researching the following. I thought it was the Global.asax in the select statement but I haven't been able to solve this as of yet. Has anyone else seen this?

If you put that code in, it breaks forms authentication. It is also in many more places. Bottom line... with forms authentication, after succesful login, Context.User.Identity.Name will be set to UserId from the user table, an integer. With Windows authentication, it is Domain\Username. Does anyone have this working with Windows Authentication ? I loaded and have been testing with 1.0.5. Most of the modules where this appears to be a problem dealing with the multiple portals. "Context.User.Identity.Name <> _portalSettings.SuperUserId" is the most common one that looks like a problem. 2003-04-08T03:47:20-04:00189917http://forums.asp.net/p/157165/189917.aspx/1?Re+Windows+Authentication Regardless of whether you use Windows or Forms authentication, the application is currently expecting your users to exist in the DotNetNuke database Users table. Then the global.asax.vb does the mapping of a username to a userid which is used internally throughout the application. The original IBS portal handled Windows authentication this way as well. It is currently not possible to assign roles to a user unless the user is in the DB. 2003-04-08T12:55:10-04:00190106http://forums.asp.net/p/157165/190106.aspx/1?Re+Windows+Authentication Thanks Shaun, I didn't fully understand that until I spent some more time in the code. I had put DomainName\Username into the Users table. Actually, this userid wasn't getting set in global.asax.vb because User.Identity.AuthenticationType is coming back "NTLM", not "Windows". So, I copied the code in the Case statement from Case "Windows" to Case "NTLM" and everything is working now. DotNetNuke is great. Hope it continues to grow. 2003-04-08T15:46:10-04:00190140http://forums.asp.net/p/157165/190140.aspx/1?Re+Windows+Authentication I'm having problems with this to. The code in global.asax.vb is very different between IBS and DNN and I haven't found a way around it. Basically, the app refers to Context.User.Identity.Name in numerous places; this is a read-only property that always appears to contain the current user's Windows login name (NTDOMAIN\UserName) when Windows authentication is turned on. I haven't found anyway to change that security context and I'm hoping the answer isn't to replace it's usage all through the app. 2003-04-08T16:24:11-04:00190477http://forums.asp.net/p/157165/190477.aspx/1?Re+Windows+Authentication Hi JRdotNet I've created a small component to handle Windows Authentical Mode with DNN 1.0.6 for my intranet. The process is: * On AuthenticateRequest: Check if user record exists in database * If user's not found in the database: Go to Windows Active Directory/Global Catalog get all user info (firstnam, lastname, email...) * Add new user to database based on info from Active Directory * Add Group Membership (Roles) based on Security Groups of AD which user belonged to. With this function you could integrated security group of Windows & Roles of DNN. This component's working OK in my intranet, but not fully test with other systems. If you want to try, give me your email address.

I've been tasked with integrating it with our current active directory and group policy. I would be very interested in looking at your component. Also curious how the Context.User.Identity.Name was addressed globally when implementing windows authentication. A global find and replace for UserId leaves UserId undimensioned all over the place obviously wont compile. If you could send code it would be greatly appreciated.... bandit_193@hotmail.comASDF Thanks, JHaynes 2003-04-09T17:07:17-04:00
