Windows Authentication to Forms

[JimmyFo]

Hi, I want to use the Windows authentication mechanism in the Web.Config to make sure the users are authenticated against a particular Windows group, like:

    <authentication mode="Windows">
    </authentication>
    <authorization>
      <allow roles="DOMAIN\WINDOWSGROUP" />
      <deny users="*"/>
    </authorization>

I would also like to use the ASP.Net Forms authentication, in that if they are validated against this group, they are automatically validated against the aspnetdb database, that has all the user roles etc. Is there a way to do this? I would like to be able to use the role providers that comes with ASP, but I have to use the Windows authentication, and only for one domain group. Any ideas?

Thanks,
James

hi,

is this what you are trying to do:
1. use windows authentication
2. get roles from membership database for access rights
???

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

Hi, yes, that is exactly what I am trying to do. I really only have experience using the roleProvider and membershipProvider to limit access, and this item requires Windows Authentication. So I'm trying to use that (Windows Authentication), but still be able to use roles, etc, without extra domain groups.

Thanks,
James
