BugNET

I am new to BugNET and am looking to understand the features in more detail. I see that the Wiki version of the documentation has been setup with the recent upgrade to the newer version of DNN, but I cannot seem to find many details within that section of the site. Is there a short term alternative resource that I can access to help me understand the features in more detail?

Here is what i have thus far... Please forgive me if some of these items are rudimentary, but I have not had a chance to spend much time working through this.  Which is just why I need an issue tracking system ;)

1. After following this post (http://www.bugnetproject.com/Forums/tabid/54/forumid/5/threadid/1012/scope/posts/Default.aspx) I can login using my domain account. Now my question is, will I have to setup each user in the database manually in order to setup other users? I am assuming so, but want to make sure.
2. What function does the 'Authentication Settings' section of the Application Configuration Control? what parameters should be used to set this up? Is there an working example?
3. Are there any items that are not recommended for modification? I need to change the branding and data values (I.e. Priority, Status, and Type tables) that are used.
4. How does the system work with email? I see the application configuration section asks for POP3 mailbox info so I am curious as to what all functions this provides? (I.e. can 'users' email bugs?)

I am sure that I will have more questions, but this is a good start.

THanks,

Imajinit wrote I have done some more investigation since my last post so I thought I should update and clarify my pending questions... I thought I should clarify my question on this one. I think I  have the windows authentication working properly, but when a user that does not have a corresponding database entry logs into the site it appears that the system does not have a way to reference them. My question relates to the need to provide access, assign tasks, and other things for my users. What is the standard protocol for dealing with this? Create entries for each user in the membership system? I have an import process created so I can do that, I just wanted to make sure this is the norm. I seem to have figured this one out. I entered the information and with the items in number one I think I am ok, but just not sure. Should this feature take care of my queston in number one? I am assuming that I need to keep a change log and manage this on my own,  just wondering if there are any recommended things to stay away from. No change in this question. Tried messing with this for a few minutes, but I still not sure what this should be used for. NEW - Is there a clean way to replace the DOMAIN\Username shown from the Login control with the more user friendly profile username? As a 'newby' developer I am not too famliar with the login control... As a side note, I am getting ready to pilot this setup with my first group of users. So far this system beats every other we have tried hands down! Thanks again for the extra info on this, it is greatly appreciated...

1. If you uncomment the authentication httpmodule from the web.config file it will auto create domain users when they visit the website, this saves some time entering the users into the application. Please see the Windows Authentication section of the installation instructions.
2. For number one to work you will need to configure this section, adding the Domain , and the credentials that has read access to the active directory.
3. Currently , types, status' and resolutions are global for all projects so just keep this in mind when modifying.  In the future we may add new ones, so you will just have to keep track and modify as necessary.
4. You need to uncomment the mailboxreader httpmodule from the web.config and setup the mailbox settings for a project and the settings in the application figuration.  This component will undergo some overhaul changing the email component soon and will also be fully documented soon.
5. Currently no, but look for this in the next version.
