AD for Membership provider, but use Default Role provider.

How would you recommend I implement the Active Directory as my Membership Provider, but use Sitefinity's Default Role Provider? My organizations Role hierarchy is too complicated to manage through AD and we would like to only use the membership provider

We had this implemented with 3.7using a custom sitefinity/login.asp but I cannot configure the ldapConnection without a rolesDns and/roleFilter

Thank you,

David

Hello David,

Could you please elaborate on "I cannot configure the ldapConnection without a rolesDns and/roleFilter"? You can assign roles from the default role provider to users from your AD provider - you don't have to assign them roles only from the AD roles. When configuring the LDAP connection you can leave the entries for the roles blank or with some default values.

After working on this for some time, I was able to get a configuration that worked.
I wanted to use the default Role Provider but enable the Membership provider based on AD.
I was unable to leave the entries blank because the CMS would give an error message stating these fields could not be blank. I was able to leave the default values, and after configuring my AD integration I did not enable the Role Provider and everything seems to be working as expected.

Thank you,

David
