DotNetNuke 4.9.0 Authentication Provider Install Error 

Recently working with a client of mine we discovered a bug in DotNetNuke 4.9.0 that has been reported to the DotNetNuke corporation, but will not be resoled until another relese is completed.  This bug affects the installation of ANY Authentication provider and is only an issue on DotNetNuke 4.9.0 installations.  The bug will manifest itself as a JavaScript error when trying to install the provider.

The fix is quite simple, while still logged in as host navigate to "Host" -> "Host Settings".  From here expand the "Other Settings" section and uncheck the box for "Enable AJAX".  Click "Update Settings" to apply the changes, then click "Restart Application" to ensure that the change has been made.

Now you can install your authentication provider.  Once the installation is complete, simply re-enable Ajax and everything is back to normal!  I hope this helps those of you looking to install authentication providers on 4.9.0.
