Child Domain Authentication #60

Closed JaySMa closed 5 years ago

JaySMa commented 5 years ago

Please summarize your question in one sentence

Previously, users in child domain couldn't be authenticated and logged into website.

Give a more extended description

Previously used the module with DNN Pro installation (anywhere from DNN Pro v5-v7) for AD authentication. We found that any user which was a member of a child domain couldn't log into the DNN website. Example, maindomain.org users logged in fine, but department1.maindomain.org users could not be authenticated.

Steps to reproduce (if needed)

Other comments or remarks

Looking at implementing an internal intranet website (running DNN CE) with AD integration and want to see if there'll be any issues as stated above.

Thank you..

Reading the WIKI, looks as though authenticating users to a child AD domain isn't possible.

Found a pay module which has a connection manager and allows you to create LDAP connections to the child AD DC's for authentication and allows you to authenticate to the root and child domains with the one login-module.
