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!
Michael

Problem solved.

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

"Enable Auto Login" must be activated to take the IP-Address range into account
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!
Michael
