This is great!  I am wondering though if it is posible to limit registration based on AD groups?  That would really be ideal for me.  Unauthenticated content visible to everyone and autoregistration and content editing available to certain groups.

If it is not able to do this is there any possiblity you could share you code so that we may attempt to add these features?

Thanks for this contribution!

 

Dear all,

there has been a few downloads of this component in the past few days, just keep the feedback coming, i will consolidate them and get them into the next version.

Do let me know if you encounter any bugs so that i can get them fixed 

PS: this is only a trial component that i wrote to solve the ad login problem which cs inherently has. this is not the final source as yet

Hi!

   This is really helpful but I was wondering if it is possible to obtain the source code for it. This would help if there is any quick fix that has to be implemented and I can review it as well.

Thanks!!

Hi all,

wanted to code some of the feedbacks but no time.. so here's the source codes

http://137.132.1.150/Jeffery.FormsADMemberRolesrc.zip

Updates: This link no longer works, refer to the top thread for the source code files. Users who just want the dll, its in \bin\Release\Jeffery.FormsADMemberRole.dll

Thanks for this module kwanann, I am having a problem with users who are not in AD but have set up an account. Once they have logged off after the initial setup of there account it does not allow them to back in. It seems it only is looking to AD to authenticate the users and if that fails it does not check the CS database. 

Is this supposed to allow for fallback to the CS database if the user is not found in Active Directory?

Thanks

Hi kwanann,
              Thanks for the interesting Assembly.
I have downloaded the Dll and i have hooked it up under the web/bin folder.And i have also
changed the configuration files as you stated.But i keep geting error

"MemberUserRoleProvider Provider Type Jeffery.FormsADMemberRole.CSMemberRoleProfileProvider, Jeffery.FormsADMemberRole could not be loaded"

Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks in adv.

Dear naijacoder,

 Which version of CS are you using? I've developed this for CS 2.x series. never tried on the latest 2007 version.

 
However i've attached the source, so if you are interested, you can modify it from there
 

Dear smbass,

I've attached the source code. The point in question can be found @ new public bool ValidateUser(string Username, string Password)

            foreach (string Domain in Domains)
            {
               if (LDAP.AuthenticateUser(Username, Password, Domain))
               {
                  return true;
               }
            }
            return false;

based on this code, if i'm unable to authenticate the user against any of the domains, it will return false. You can easily configure the fallback here so that it will do a cs local users check. Can't really remember the code since its almost a year back since i touched this sdk.. 

Is this information still current? 

I want to use forms authentication and authenticate against active directory.  I'm under the impression that I need to purchase AD support from Telligent however the module mentioned in this post seems to be a 3rd party?

I can't find any documentation about configuring CS to use AD - when I download the 'security modules' pack there appears to be nothing mentioned about active directory?

Looking for a little bit of guidance...  Thanks.

The Active Directory integration we currently provide is through IIS as SSO.  The AD authentication is done through the Windows Authentication module, since they are affectively the same thing.  It doesn't provide forms auth though, since as I said, it targets SSO.

With CS 2008, we are adding support LDAP authentication, including an LDAP forms authentication module.  With it, it could connect to AD through LDAP and authenticate a user that way.

Quite interested in the LDAP support with Form authentication in 2008. I have downloaded and installed the beta 1 but could not find anything about it though. Could any one shed light on this pls?
