Merging and Splitting Individual Portals to/from one database Started By RichardHowells I have a few DNN sites that are very lightly used. Currently they run in their own installations with their own databases. I'd like to consider consolidating them into one site with multiple portals. Imagine the simplest case. Install A with its own IIS Site and DB; and Install B with its own IIS Site and DB Superficially this seems simple (hah!) most tables in the database contain a portal ID, so presumably to merge Install B's database into Install A's database requires...

Changing passwordFormat from Encrypted to Hashed / DNN.ActiveDirectory Started By Michael Tobisch I have an installation of DNN that is running since November 2011 (DNN 6.1.0) and was upgraded frequently to 9.12.0 atm. The installation uses DNN.ActiveDirectory version 7.2.0 for Intranet authentication. Works fine. When trying to change the password format from 'Encrypted' (which was the 'secure' option at the time of the first install) to 'Hashed', the site stops working. I can't find anything in the logs, except that the server was restarted (which is normal when changing the web.config)...	5	957	0	2/22/2024 3:47 AM by Michael Tobisch

Member Directory Module Started By ELC It seems that for a user to view the member directory, the only permission that works is if he is an administrator.... I have a filter on the Directory that says only show memrbers of Group A. A user that logs in and is a member of group A see the message: 'No members were found that satisfy the search conditions.' If I make him an Administrator, he sees all memerbers of group A correctly. I dont understand... Thank you	6	931	0	2/23/2024 10:41 AM by ELC
Logout Redirect Started By Andrew Enes We are running our application using Active Directory Authentication behind a load balancer that holds the certificate. The application itself seems to be loading all the pages over https, but the logout link however attempts to reach a 'login.aspx' (that I cannot find) using http and fails. In thre redirect URL in DNN we have it set to back to the home page. Has anyone encountered something like this before when using DNN for an application behind a load balancer Any suggestions would be...	4	4112	1	2/21/2024 1:36 PM by Andrew Enes
Fresh Install vs Upgarde Started By Bryan Lynn We have been using DNN for several years. I think we have been upgrading since somewhere around version 6, maybe. We are now running 9.4 and planning to upgrade to 9.13 (or whatever the latest is now). Is there a point where you should consider doing a fresh install of DNN and importing the content from the old site, or is it OK to just keep upgrading. Thanks	7	592	1	2/15/2024 11:59 AM by Bryan Lynn
