No one in the beginner forum could answer this so I'm guessing it's a "professional" question although I'm a beginner. I'm trying to authenticate users in our domain. I've heard it can be done but I'm not sure so here goes. If a user first logs into a computer in the morning and they go to a website that with classic ASP they have to re-enter their domain, username, and password. I've read with ASP.NET that you can verify them as already being authenticated and let them enter the site. Here is what I have so far.

Web.config:
<authorization>
    <deny users="?" />
</authorization>


Code Behind:
Imports System.Web.Security
Public Class WebForm1
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
    Protected WithEvents spnAuthenticated As HtmlGenericControl
    Protected WithEvents spnUserName As HtmlGenericControl
    Protected WithEvents spnAuthenticationType As HtmlGenericControl
#Region " Web Form Designer Generated Code "

    'This call is required by the Web Form Designer.
    <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()

    End Sub

    Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
        'CODEGEN: This method call is required by the Web Form Designer
        'Do not modify it using the code editor.
        InitializeComponent()
    End Sub

#End Region

    Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        spnAuthenticated.InnerText = User.Identity.IsAuthenticated
        spnUserName.InnerText = User.Identity.Name
        spnAuthenticationType.InnerText = User.Identity.AuthenticationType
    End Sub
End Class


I am reading MCAD/MCSD ASP.NET with VB.NET by Jeff Webb.

My question is, can I use my computer to test this or do I have to use the main server to talk to the domain controller?

You should be able to use your own computer. Any machine on the network will talk to the domain controller be it your server or another if said machine is part of the domain controllers domain.

u sould able to do it in ur our computer since its ur server in that case! & I dont know if u have problem, since I set my web.Config like:
When I didnt set allow tag I couldnt do it.
make me know if u have done!

I am still getting the windows logon prompt. Is there a way not to get this?


This is what I'm getting once I enter my logon information.

Authenticated: True

UserName: ED\stu9820

Authentication Type: Negotiate



Thanks for your help.

How can I authenticate if you will input a username and a password in the login control and I will redirect to the 2nd page. If your want to open the 2nd page, it will not be open unless you will enter the username and password. You can't open the second page also in the address bar unless you'll input your username and password. How can I do that?
