Windows authentication for web application

[Rujuta Gandhi]

Hi All,

I want to do authentication based on the windows user accounts for my web
application.

I want to confirm the windows user account existance from my web
application. I am having user name and password in my application.

Or If u suggest to use the automatic authentication IIS performs (after
deselcting the windows integrated authentication from site's properties
window) then how can I get the user name of the user currently logged in.

Thanking you all in advance. If there is some lack of information please ask
for.

Your web.config

<system.web>
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>

and your aspx

<%=User.Identity.Name%>

Hi Daniel,

Can u help in another one problem for the same. I was using the basic
authentication provided by the IIS, but what if I want to perform this login
with my own login page. I dont want that pop up dialogue of IIS. I want to
do it programatically. Is it feasible?

Your solution is working nice. Thanks again.

1. Enable Anonymous in IIS.
2. Set WindowsAuth in Web.Config
3. Define where it sould pup up using the location tag in the web.config
