Hello, my name's Tom and this is my first post to this forum. I've been searching both the Plone forums and googling this problem for several days and have hit a walll.
Question: is it possible, and what is the best way, to set up a single Plone site to accept authentication from 2 separate domains? Outline of current set up: Ubuntu server 9.04 32-bit running Plone-3.3.4 installed via Unified installer with single instance. Successfully set up single domain authentication using the steps outlined in the following http://www.catapultsolutions.net/resources/plone-cms-talks-w-ms-active-directory.html link Desired setup: Singe Plone site with authentication for 2 separate domains (there is trust between them but they are not within the same forest) Steps taken to try and get this working: Only found 2 links ( http://plone.org/documentation/kb/large-activedirectory-authentication 2 / http://plone.org/documentation/kb/setting-up-plone-to-authenticate-using-active-directory 3 ) which seemed to detail instructions of what I was trying to achieve. Other links hinted at it but either didn't support multiple domains or were targeted at older versions of Plone I have a second server (mirror install of the first) and t have followed above instructions to the letter however I'm unable to get even a single domain to authenticate using these instructions. Logging in with domain user name (initialfirstname OR domain\initialfirstname) and password generates this error: Login failed. Both login name and password are case sensitive, check that caps lock is not enabled. Is there a way to use the method in the first link to add a second domain controller to authenticate to? I appreciate this opens another issue of same login names on 2 different domains causing problems - but I will cross that bridge if/when I get to it. Perhaps I'm approaching this the wrong way and a simpler method would be to create two sites with their own separate authentications but with links between them. However there are a number of shared services between the 2 companies so in an ideal world I'd really like both to have access to a single intranet with navigational tabs set up for each arm of the company. Has *anyone* out there managed to get this set up successfully? Any advice would be greatfully received. Many thanks, Tom. . -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Active-Directory-setup-for-multiple-domains-one-Plone-site-tp4801221p4801221.html Sent from the Installation, Setup, Upgrades mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
