    Hi all,

    I upgraded a site from DNN 7.4.2 to 8.0.4 (on the way to go to 9.4+).

    The settings for the AD Provider are:

    Enabled: [X]
    Hide Login Controls: [ ]
    Synchronze Role: [ ]
    Synchronze Photo: [ ]
    Enable Auto Login: [ ]
    Do Not Automatically Create Users: [ ]
    Enable Debug mode: [ ]
    Provider: ASDIAuthenticationProvider
    Authentication Type: Delegation
    Root Domain: dc=intra,dc=local
    Username: DOMAIN\Username
    Password: **********
    Email Domain: @somewhere.com
    Default.domain: intra.local
    Auto-login IP Address (Optional): 10.0.0.1-10.255.255.255
    Allowed Serch Bots: gsa-crawler;MS Search 5.0 Robot

    There are users that are not domain members, they access the intranet site via a WAF, and are not authenticated in the intranet. That is OK, and worked fine in 7.4.2 (and before).

    After the upgrade, it did not auto-login the users from the internal IP addresses anymore. I activated the "Enable Auto Login" checkbox, and it worked again, but now, these external users can't login anymore. I need a quick solution to fix that, any ideas?

    Happy DNNing!

      Problem solved.

      There is obviously a change in the logic of the provider settings:

      1. "Enable Auto Login" must be activated to take the IP-Address range into account
      2. If a client can't automatically login, it is not considered as anonymous, but gets a login-popup (from the Windows server, not a DNN Login)

      After changing the IP-Address range and excluded the IP addresses of the WAF and the transfer domains, everything works fine.

      Happy DNNing!
