I apologize for reposting for help. Brendan pointed in the right direction on trying to setup AD authentication with FarCry. I have been struggling on trying to get the authentication to work properly.
I have followed the instructions below with no problems. <--- Basic steps needed are: - register NTAdmin.dll for use as a com object (file can be found under farcry_core/admin/install/dmSec_files). I find it easiest to copy this file to your winnt/system32 directory and then from the command prompt run this: regsvr32 c:\winnt\system32\ntadmin.dll - create a new FarCry user directory (<yourApp>/config/_dmSecUserDirectories.cfm) with typename of "ADSI" and domain of your active directory eg Application.dmSec.UserDirectory.AD= StructNew(); temp = Application.dmSec.UserDirectory.AD; temp.type="ADSI"; temp.domain="mydomain.com"; - update your application scope (append updateapp=1 to your url) - log in to FarCry, click on security tab, policy sub tab and finally map policy group. You will need to map the AD groups across to FarCry policy groups. Eg if your AD user belongs to a sysadmin group, you would map the AD sysadmin group to the FarCry sysadmin group. Then that user can log in with standard AD details and have full sysadmin access. That's it. Your users should be able to log in as normal. Note you can't view/modify AD users from FarCry. ---> The problem is that when I try to login as one of the ad users it just does nothing. I have gone through the FarCry security logs and it keeps telling me that the user is unable to login. Is there a major difference between 2000 AD and 2003 AD that the ntadmin.dll will not work properly with 2003 AD structures? My company is willing to move forward with FarCry as a content management solution but unless I can get the AD authentication to function correctly we may have to scrap the project. I am just stuck at a brick wall right now and any help would be most appreciated at this point. --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004
