Dear,

I followed the steps and after refreshing and modifying the web.config I get this error:

Error - Unable to establish secure connection with the server (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\PHP\galleryserverpro\web.config line 95)

Any suggestions??

Roger,

Thanks so much for the great GSP application. I have been reading this thread and your blog on this topic, and realize that my scenario is slightly different. Is it possible to use Windows authentication instead of Active Directory Forms authentication (i.e. bypassing the GSP login completely), and still using the SqlRoleProvider roles?

Updating the web.config to reflect this setup isn't significant but I was wondering if you knew off-hand if this would present any issues with GSP. With what I've modified so far, I've gotten GSP to recognize my Windows auth username, but when I use the VS2005 ASP.NET Configuration tool to assign my username to the System Administrator role, I get a 'Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.60.0.... Failed to grant minimum permission requests' error.

I will continue to play around with my current configuration to try to get it to work but any additional guidance you may have to offer would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

i'm giving this a go and i am getting this error what have i missed.
if i take it out it works fine.

thats it!!

if u look at the guide the error is in there.


thanx sam

sorry me just being dumb

Nothing. The role management is contained within the GSP database, so your idea to remove the privileged account after initial configuration should work.

Hi,

Also check out this: http://www.codeproject.c...ve_directory_roles.aspx

Custom AD Rolemanager to retrieve AD groups. I'm looking at integrating it atm.

:)

Of course, this may be the wrong way, covering the entire domain, so be careful. For this reason I prefer to go back to read-only rights and addressing the role through participation in IIS 7 Manager

Without the details of the error it is hard to know what is wrong. I suggest searching the internet on the error message to see if anything comes up. Since I don't know much about AD, that is basically what I would do if you posted the error message here.

If nothing else, you can update the aspnet_UsersInRoles table directly to add the user to the role. Off the top of my head, though, I am not sure what you would use for the UserId column.
