Import Users?

Is it possible at all to import users from an xml file, or from Active Directory? This would be fantastic, as I've downloaded the app but the idea of adding 100+ users manually makes me sad.

This is currently not possibly. The best alternative I can suggest at this time is to enable the windows authentication http module in the web.config(uncomment it) and turn on windows authentication(in IIS and in the application configuration page in BugNET).

Send all your users a link to the website, when they visit their accounts will be created in the database.

Then you will need to assign them to roles in BugNET.

Re: Import Users?

Hey Davin,

Thanks for the reply. However I'm pretty confused as to what I actually need to set in the Configuration page in BugNET. Is there any documentation I can read on how to setup security in BugNET?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Also - which setting am I supposed to uncomment in the web.config? Which is the windows authentication http module? or is this simply the Windows authentication rather than Forms authentication?

Re: Import Users?

Set the ActiveDirectory for the authentication in the host settings and enter a username and password that has read access to the directory.
Add a domain user you wish to use as the administrator to the BugNET application through the users section and assign them to the SuperUser role.
Comment the forms authentication and uncomment the windows authentication in the web.config
Uncomment  in the httpmodules section of the web.config
Turn off anonymous authentication for the web site in IIS
