Passport authentication -- how can I debug it?

[Guest]

Is it possible to debug a web site with password authentication in PreProduction mode

Here is what I have done

- Installed Passport SD
- Set Password authentication in web.confi
- Created PassportIdentity object in the asp.net web pag

Here is what is happening

- LogoTag returns me a url to ms web site for sign in
- Image for the Sign In button is not show
- When I click on hyperlink I get redirected to a return URL which I specified the Passport Manage
- I don't get a ticke

I guess it is how it is supposed to work, question though, is how can I debug this page with a real passport web site

I would like to run my code in the debugger and to be redirected to a real passport login page, see real ticket, user profile, etc

Is it possible to do on my local IIS or I need a public ip

I know there is a process of compliance review, but we are not there yet, just trying to make sense of all it.

Thank you

Hi Stan,

From your description, you're wondering whether its possible to provide a
local Passport auhtentiation server which can accept the login request and
do the authentication processes, yes?

Based on my research, the passport authentication is also cookie based and
all the authenticatoin works are processed by the certain internet Passport
Login servers. It authenticate the requests and then set the certain
clientside cookie. And our works in ASP.NET web application is just
configure the certain passport authentication and then use the Passport
Authenitcation provider which can help check the passport authentciatoin
cookie(token) and set the proper Identity and Principle in the requesnt.

So it seems that all the work is done by the remote passport server rather
than ourself. Do you think so?
IN addition ,here is the certain reference on ASP.NET Passport
Authentication Porvider in MSDN:

#Passport Authentication Provider

Hope also helps.Thanks.
