Active Directory Authentication

 1. Make backup copy of /inetpub/wwwroot/coursecast/web.config 
   2. Open web.config 
   3. Search (Ctrl+f) and locate  section 
   4. Add the below line (making the appropriate changes to match your Active Directory):

   5. Search (Ctrl+f) and locate 
   6. Add the below lines:

connectionStringName="ADConnectionString" attributeMapUsername="sAMAccountName" enableSearchMethods="true" type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />

   7.  The name attribute MUST equal the actual domain name (e.g.name="panopto") in order for AD group lookup to work properly, unless you specify the AD group search root elsewhere in your config file.
        The name attribute will be displayed as a prefix for users associated with the provider (e.g. panopto\username).

   8.  The description attribute is the display name for the provider (e.g.description="Panopto Domain"), and will show up in provider drop down lists.

   9. You can make the AD provider the default provider for new users logging in by setting the defaultProvider attribute on the element to the provider name (e.g. ).

   10. Save and close web.config.

   11. A drop down will now be displayed on the login page, allowing you to select which provider to log in with.
        There is no need to specify the domain prefix when entering Active Directory credentials.  For example, enter username rather than panopto\username or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

   12. (Optional) If you need to specify a username/password for the connection to Active Directory, add the connectionUsername andconnectionPassword attributes as shown below:

connectionStringName="ADConnectionString" connectionUsername="UserWithAppropriateRights" connectionPassword="PasswordForUser" attributeMapUsername="sAMAccountName" enableSearchMethods="true" type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />

 See below for example of web.config:
