 AD issues in 9.8?

Has anyone experienced any AD weirdness in 9.8? Things that worked perfectly in older versions are no longer working for me. Specifically:

  • automatic sign-in no longer works (it used to work in both IE and Chrome)
  • manual sign-in usually works but occasionally fails
  • trying to add AD groups dynamically fails to find any of our groups



At first I thought it was an issue with our AD server, but apps I have built using earlier versions are working flawlessly. I also double-checked to ensure that the configuration info is identical to what I used in previous apps.
I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this or can verify that AD is working for you in this version. Thanks.

Peter, I use AD all the time and have not experienced what you are describing. But, if something is not right, I really want to know about it.

I see there is a newer build available than the one I am using. I'm going to try using that one and if the issue persists, I'll submit a ticket.

Never mind. I think it was all operator error, or rather developer error <sheepish grin>.
The issue with not finding groups was either fixed in a later build or (more likely) just a transient issue with our network. It went away when I rebuilt and deployed the app using build 29359.
The issue of not automatically logging me in was my bad. I had enabled Windows Authentication in IIS but forgot to disable anonymous. Sheesh. TGIF, right?

AH-HAH... now we know your secret, Pete !!!
You looked into the future while the rest of us are stuck with Build 29213.... <snicker>

LOL. I usually don't update my build unless I suspect a problem that will require a support ticket. Just ruling out the possibility that the issue might have already been fixed. <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=82935&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

Good Evening,
Well, my first post and a newbie with APSRunner.Net. User of CodeCharge, IronSpeed and Codeontime.
I'm having this problem and I'm using the latest version. Any other insights?
When I'm setting up security I'm able to see the AD groups & users in "Add project administrator". When running the application, and going to the Admin area, when selecting assign permission, the list is empty.

If you are using active directory, you will not see users. You should see the ad security groups you want to use and you assign those ad groups to the appropriate role access. Users are managed in active directory. One thing to note: it makes good sense to create an AD group to use as admin. This way the application is not tied to an individual.
If it's just you not seeing the ad groups in admin area, you need to either add group (from AD) using the add group button or enter the group name directly into the _uggroups table of your database.
