Custom login page for Windows Authentication 1

[evaleah]

I want to use windows authentication and impersonation. However, I don't want to use the IIS automatic login. Does anyone know of a way to use windows authentication and impersonation but my own login screen?

Thanks,
Eva

um... im confused. windows auth only works with IIS as far as ive heard. a login page? ive only known uses where we they didnt want to prompt for username and password. in that case use forms authentication instead.

what are your goals? how far have u gotten?

I am sure there is a workaround to using IIS with windows authentication. That is what I am looking for.

The issue is we have numbers of users in multiple shared domains. Because of this they have to enter their domain name when they log in. They usually don't remember this small detail. I want to be able to give them directions as they log in. Better yet, I would like to have a textbox for them to input 3 things, domain, username, and password then authenticate that against AD and use the windowsidentity for impersonation purposes. I don't want to impersonate the default user like you do when you use forms authentication. So, I want all the goods windows authentication offers but with instructions for logging on.

You want to use Forms Authentication, but authenticate against Active Directory. There are a few articles on that around - here's one

well i give u a star, great link and example, didnt know that was possible, although outlook web access does something of the sorts, but thought microsoft had their own way and not sharing it.

Thanks for the link. I actually knew you could do this. I have read a bunch of articles on it. My issue with this is it lacks the impersonation element. I need that final piece because I am passing the credentials to a SQL DB. I don't want to maintain the individual users on the DB server. I want to add them to AD groups. When I use Forms Authentication this way I lose the ability to impersonate the individual. The impersonation just sends over the logged in user.

Is there a way to create the impersonation?

Thanks again!
