    Authenticating with Active Directory credentials

    Now that I'm slightly more familiar with Umbraco and am on a more recent version than the WebMatrix installer provides, I'm finding that I may not need an extra package to auth with AD credentials:

    https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Security/#authenticating-with-active-directory-credentials

    Can anybody provide a bit more context to how this authentication is done in version 7.5.8? This sentence is less than helpful to someone new to Umbraco...

    "you can just use Umbraco.Core.Security.ActiveDirectoryBackOfficeUserPasswordChecker and then ...:"

    What exactly is needed to "just use" this method?

    Thanks!

    It means that you can skip step 2 in: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Security/#authenticating-with-active-directory-credentials

    and for step 3, instead of MyPasswordChecker, you can use the already defined ActiveDirectoryBackOfficeUserPasswordChecker.

    Hi Micha, thanks for that comment.

    I'm an Umbraco noob and I think this is in a "getting started" forum, so I'm not ashamed to ask some dumb questions...

    Is the installation of the UmbracoIdentityExtensions package even needed since we don't need any OAuth extensions? Again we're in an enterprise AD environment.

    Is anyone willing to help me document the steps needed to get simple AD auth working from a fresh 7.5.8 umbraco install?

    Hi Matt,

    Certainly not a dumb question ...

    Actually, I also don't know what is exactly needed to get AD authentication working in Umbraco 7.5.8 without OAuth.

    It's not even clear to me if some of the alternatives (like Active Directory Providers) that worked before version 7.3 are still working for later versions.

    Looking at some related posts here and here it sounds like there are some tricky things involved to make it work.

    Hopefully some experts on this topic can help you further!

    Micha,

    I have "hit up" the Umbraco team members listed as contacts for the documentation and asked for some clarification on this. Actually I suggested that the 7.5.0+ docs be broken out separately because the methods seem different.

    I'll update here as appropriate. But if anyone has implemented this AD authentication in 7.5 or newer and are willing to share how they did it, I'm all ears!

    Hi Matt,

    Did you get the AD authentication up and running?

    Hi Tommy,

    I never did get the native Umbraco AD auth working. But I did get it working through this extension:

    Umbraco Back Office Active Directory ASP.Net Provider

    Hi Matt,

    Frederik Raabye did a talk about AD integration with Umbraco at Codegarden. He did a demo of how to set it up. There's a link to the video on the page below. I've been meaning to have a go myself.

    https://codegarden17.com/sessions/authentication-and-sign-on-scenarios-with-umbraco/

    Hope that's helpful.

    Dan
