Q: Is it possible to implement automatic logon with ActiveDirectory/LDAP?
A: Yes, starting with EPiServer 4.21 we support authorizing against ActiveDirectory groups when using Windows Integrated security (i e automatic logon). Note that the user will be viewed as a Windows user, not as a LDAP user, by EPiServer. This should not have any practical implications but might be confusing for the administrator.
To enable this feature you need to:
- Set up communication with with an AD server (same as before)
- Enable Windows Authentication (both in web.config and in the IIS Manager)
- Add the following line to web.config: <add key="EPsLdapServerType" value="AD" />
