Hello All,
I?ve just started using the TTT Authentication & Sign-in module, and everything is working great.
I?ve noticed in other threads rumors that someday the Authentication module will include group/role
features. And I was wondering if this means that when a user logs in they will be placed in a role
based on the Active Directory container that they are located in? if so, what is the time frame for
this feature?
Or, is there some other way to accomplish what I?m trying to do? Here is my situation I have
a server (Win2003) it is the Active Directory primary domain controller, it is also the same server
that DNN 3.1 is located on. In Active Directory I have four containers:
- Admins
- MGMT
- Office
- Instructors
In DNN I have the same four security roles. I would like to make it so that when a user logs for the
first time they are assigned to the respective security role based on the container that they are
located in.
Currently, when a user logs in for the first time they are placed in the Registered Users security
role. Which means I have to then go in to the admin site after they login for the first time and
promote them to there proper role. Not to bad if you only have 10 users but after 1000 that?s going
to get old.
And finally, on a side note why can?t I delete the Registered Users Security Role?
Any help/input you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks, Nathan Rover
