How to use SAML 2.0 response for specific DNN role authentication and authorization Started By Sachin Gedam I am looking for refrerance implemention/code snipet to sign-in external user to DNN Evoq web site using SAML 2.0 response.

DNN Corp still open for business? Started By Justin C I realize this is the community forum for DNN Platform, but figure I'd ask here as there really isn't anywhere else to do so. Over the past few months I have seen a huge decline in DNN Support for my Evoq clients, most notably I have two open support tickets, one for 22 days and one for 30 days, both with zero responses besides the automated acknowledgment. I have repeatedly asked for updates and escalated both, with still no answer. Previously we would get an answer within a day or two at mo...	3	1855	2	7/30/2021 7:47 PM by Justin C
Better support for users changing their password Started By ScottH I'm running DNN Platform 9.9.1, maintain 30 different portals, and have ~4,000 users. I often see users struggle with changing their password. I've updated the error message (in the language resources) so that it identifies the custom password rules we have. Regardless, some users still have problems and there's little useful information that DNN provides to the user to help them figure out the issue. It could be a case of them trying a password that fails the rules, or they're using an inva...	2	1491	2	7/16/2021 9:11 AM by ScottH

DNNGO, digNuke and "Ventrian": When things go right, Started By Joe Craig We often hear about difficulties upgrading from out of data DNN installations, particularly when old modules need replacing and vendors have gone by the wayside. I have a client site that has been at DNN 7.3.3 since late 2014 and it needs upgrading. Badly! I was able to easily upgrade a DNNGo menu, digNuke's digForm module, and the open source version of Ventrian's old News Articles module. All are working fine with an upgrade to DNN 9.9.1.

Mixed-content errors when using reverse proxy with SSL Started By Gmaes Telecom One of our customers has a DNN site that is behind a reverse proxy server. The communication is like this: User -> Reverse Proxy (HTTPS Apache) -> DNN (HTTP IIS) Since we activated the reverse proxy the popups on the site stopped working because of the mixed-content error on the browser. At first, we perceived that this was happening to some custom modules popups. We couldn't find the code where it would call the DNN popup and pass the URL to change it from HTTP to HTTPS, so we did a li...		2660	0	5/27/2021 4:42 PM by Gmaes Telecom
Create a side navbar Started By braelef I have a series of blog-like pages on my site. I'd like to create a unifying side navbar that links between these pages. Yes, they're in the top nav menu but it's unwieldy. I know how to make a side navbar in HTML and CSS. What I don't know is how to have it sample some of the menu so that if I add new pages, it's always up-to-date. Any ideas	2	1919	1	5/11/2021 2:14 PM by braelef
api request to get all portals from a dnn installation Started By Peter Schotman - 40Fingers Hi there, Is there a public api request possible to get all portals from a dnn installation I am asking this because I saw in the administrator log a series of 404 requests errors to the Telerik DialogHandler for all portals in the installation. The portals in this installation have the following domain name structure: some-client-name.my.saas.solution.tld I am running dnn 9.8.1.
