And while I step through the custom code I have written and I can see the user has been validated the redirect immediately after login goes straight to an empty white page - is there something else I need to do in order to successfully redirect the user.
As a second point - If I'm using Active Directory do I have to make sure that the user already exists as an Umbraco user first - i.e. do I need to duplicate the account in order to gain access.
Since nobody at Umbraco can answer anything but the simplest of questions and try to sell their crappy Umbraco as a service, I was wondering if you ever managed to solve this issue and what you did to fix it? I've been running into the same issue for over a day now & can't seem to figure out the problem.
I think I did end up fixing it, but I found the whole exercise rather pointless. I thought what was the point of using LDAP/AD when the user has to be in the Umbraco system first. If you're going to go through the hassle of creating a new user for every account in your AD - you might as well hand out the new account details and not bother.
Authenticating to the BackOffice using Active Directory in 7.3.1
Hello,
I'm currently in the process of reconfiguring the Umbraco backoffice so it authenticates against our Active Directory.
I've followed the instructions as written here:- https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Security/
And while I step through the custom code I have written and I can see the user has been validated the redirect immediately after login goes straight to an empty white page - is there something else I need to do in order to successfully redirect the user.
As a second point - If I'm using Active Directory do I have to make sure that the user already exists as an Umbraco user first - i.e. do I need to duplicate the account in order to gain access.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks
Paul

Hi Brandon,
I think I did end up fixing it, but I found the whole exercise rather pointless. I thought what was the point of using LDAP/AD when the user has to be in the Umbraco system first. If you're going to go through the hassle of creating a new user for every account in your AD - you might as well hand out the new account details and not bother.
I'll have a check to see if I can find the code.
Cheers

Paul, I am having the same issue here. AD account validation was successful but the user is redirected to an empty page.
Can you tell me how did you fix this? Thank you.
