Matt:

Thank you very much! Setting the value to false fixed it. I am so happy.

If you have the time, can you tell me which release of Umbraco changed authentication?

Tom

Glad its fixed :)

What do you mean by authentication?

You can compare umbraco Versions here - https://our.umbraco.org/download/releases/compare

Dont forget to mark the answer it will help others find it :)

Matt

Hi Tom

This changed with the release of Umbraco 7.6 - See release notes here https://our.umbraco.org/download/releases/760/

It's also marked with red under the "Upgrade" section on the page :)

Matt:

We use Active Directory for our authentication. Does this get broken when I upgrade to 7.7.5 or 7.7.6?

Tom

Thanks Matt.

Matt:

I hope you are still around,. I just upgraded from 7.6.5 to 7.7.0 and I am getting this error (see below) which is coming from my customOwinStartup class for Active Directory

Here is the contents of my class.
Can you offer any assistance?

using Mantle.core.Security; using Microsoft.Owin; using Owin; using Umbraco.Core; using Umbraco.Core.Models.Identity; using Umbraco.Core.Security; using Umbraco.Web.Security.Identity;

//To use this startup class, change the appSetting value in the web.config called // "owin:appStartup" to be "UmbracoCustomOwinStartup"

[assembly: OwinStartup("UmbracoCustomOwinStartup", typeof(UmbracoCustomOwinStartup))]

namespace Mantle.core.Security { ///

/// A custom way to configure OWIN for Umbraco ///

    private static readonly log4net.ILog Log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(UmbracoCustomOwinStartup));

    public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
    {
        app.SanitizeThreadCulture();

        app.SetUmbracoLoggerFactory();

        //Configure the Identity user manager for use with Umbraco Back office
        var appCtx = ApplicationContext.Current;
        app.ConfigureUserManagerForUmbracoBackOffice<BackOfficeUserManager, BackOfficeIdentityUser>(
            appCtx,
            (options, context) =>
            {
                var membershipProvider = MembershipProviderExtensions.GetUsersMembershipProvider().AsUmbracoMembershipProvider();
                var store = new BackOfficeUserStore(
                    appCtx.Services.UserService,
                    appCtx.Services.ExternalLoginService,
                    membershipProvider);

                return FhlbBackOfficeUserManager.InitUserManager(new FhlbBackOfficeUserManager(store), membershipProvider, options);
            });

        //Ensure owin is configured for Umbraco back office authentication
        app.UseUmbracoBackOfficeCookieAuthentication(ApplicationContext.Current)
            .UseUmbracoBackOfficeExternalCookieAuthentication(ApplicationContext.Current)
            .UseUmbracoPreviewAuthentication(ApplicationContext.Current);

        Log.Debug(@"AD Authentication initialized");
    }
}

}

OK will do. Thanks for trying. Have a great upcoming weekend.

Matt:

I recall for 7.7 I needed to login using the admin email account. I also changed the authentication from our custom OWN startup class to the UmbracoDefaultOwinStartup. When I did this and reset IIS, I was able to log in using [email protected].
But now I am getting a blank screen. When I go to SQL Server and refresh the database, I don't see any new tables.

Is this expected?

Tom

Do you know what new tables are added with 7.7?

Nevermind I found them

is working on a reply...
