| I cannot login to one of my portals as admin. I can login fine as host. After I try to login as admin I get the root portal page along with the following error.
A critical error has occurred.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
The page shows normally, it just has this in the top content portion. "Host" can login fine, how do I trace where this is occurring?

Thanks Barry for replying.
Geiger, you can also look at what is going on by logging in as host, and going to admin -> log viewer. This will at least show you the full exception. |

BarryS, I'm not quite sure I understand what that post is trying to do.
This is the full exception (now that I can see it):
Message: DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.PageLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.Configuration..ctor() at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.Configuration.GetConfig() at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationController..ctor() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Security.Signin.WindowsAuthorization(UserLoginStatus& loginStatus) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Security.Signin.cmdLogin_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- |

Ah, ok,Now I can see that that post is probably not related to your problem.

| Both "Basic" and "Windows" authentication is turned on for that site however I don't use Windows Authentication to login to that site unless I am missing something. |

| The exception is being thrown from the windows authentication code, do you have it turned on inside of DNN? |

Actually when I go to Admin -> Authentication I get this error on screen.
Error: Windows Authentication is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.Configuration..ctor() at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.Configuration.GetConfig() at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationController..ctor() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Authentication.AuthenticationSettings.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- |
