I know this has had to come up before, but. here goes.

I essentially need portals that do not allow user registration, but treat all users in my current SQL database as registered users, that interact with the account login module.

 

I have my own customer database, I would like it if when a person enter their login infomation (name would be their current member number and password would be the one in our members database), that the login would authenticate from my database and then treat the member as a registered user without duplicating the tables (importing into the current DNN customer table).

Any ideas?

Hi Mark,

I would have a look at this module, i haven't used it, but it looks as though it fits your needs:
User Import Manager

You can import your users into DNN using an Excel file, hope this helps, thanks,

This would cause a dupliation of the data, somthing I was trying to avoid, but maynot be possible . Thanks again for your quick reply.

http://www.snowcovered.com/Snowcovered2/Default.aspx?tabid=242&mid=1397&PackageID=6122 says you can map data

Able to map all required DNN Fields to any Remote Database Field
Able to map to any custom “User Profile” fields.
This seems very interesting, I post it here in case anyone else is looking for a similar solution. I have not investigated this at all, I intend to contact the company and see if this will work for me, thanks for setting me on the path Lee.

Nope, not going to work, it seems that all I have spoken to say you have to import the minimal information and create the users through the DNN application. There are utlitlites to make this easier for sale. I am now finding this to be the same problem with store modules. They all assume that this is the first store, or that the replication of data is not deemed as a problem!.
We have a brick and mortar as well as a prsence on the web.

yes I think this is a common problem in the DotNetNuke community.  It may be worth thinking about creating your own module to bridge the gap - but this may be more work than you wish to take on.  Let us know if you find a module suitable to your needs, thanks,
