Our intranet uses Windows Authentication so there is no logging in because they are already authenticated...however there are instances where users (or IT) are on other users computers to show or do something on the intranet temporarly. So my question...is there a way to force a new authentication dialogbox while already authenticated? (similar to the dialogbox that appears if you try on the internet to a site using windows authentication)

Right now we use the runas, but the windows logon dialog through the browser would be more professional looking.

You could just have a page that accepts a username/password and if correct, impersonates that user.

My suggestion:

Create an other account with or without password (better without so they can login simply), or could be the 'guest' account. Then you will have to check if the user is logged in as administrator (must be password protected). If yes you know, else..

Hope.. this helps you.
 
How would you impersonate a user, not just for a page, but across our entire intranet which contains many many applications...I can't go back and manipulate web.config files in all those applications.

You can impersonate a user for your entire web application. If you want to apply this to the whole pc (and other applications that are running), the user will have to log out.
