this is my first topic on the new umbraco forum. I have a big question for you... We have finilly finished the society intranet. It tooks many times to me and to my friends. Now we have to do the final step the single sign on authentication beetween the Active Directory membership and exchange,
The users login to our intranet with a login page with Active directory login and then enter to the umbraco site. How do we do an integration with our exchange server? I read that there is the possiiblity to pass the ADcookie to exchange through the web.config file.... Is really?
Oh thanks for the answer but we have just do this stuff. Our users login to our intranet troghu a login.aspx page implemented by Active Directory.
So we have to general problems
1) We need single sign on beetween intranet and the mail server (exchange) because our users connect to the mailbox after the login on the intranet and we the same password. So we would like to short the time of the users inserting one password to do all tasks on our intranet.
2) It's not true there is complete compatibility beetween umbraco membership provider and Active Directory. When i choose on the web. config Ad as the main member provider, i can't use the members section of umbraco. It disable the members and so i don't create registered area that also we need.

When you say Exchange, are you using Outlook Webmail? So you want users to log in to the intranet, click a link to launch their email, and not have to log in again? So, what you need is to pass the username and password (or some IsAuthenticated flag) to Exchange so it knows which mailbox to display? My initial feeling was that maybe this can't be done, but I think you could probably write some code to use LDAP.
As this isn't much to do with Umbraco and you'll be lucky to find an AD / Exchange expert here, I think you'll be better off using Google to find your answers. I'd start by researching Exchange authentication methods, eg: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125207.aspx and try and get things working outside of Umbraco first of all.
single sign on beetween asp.net and exchange
Hi to all,

Gabriele -
I belive what your looking for is the Active Directory Membership Provider - which will work with Umbraco Members with no trouble.
