Looking for recommendation about NT Authentication
Dear all experts,
I'm going to start a web project which want some recommendation from all experts, please kindly give me some ideas:
Currently, I'm looking for the authentication method which is used to authroize the external user, I know I can store all the user accounts / password on the Active Directory (that mean using NT authentication in IIS), however, it will make the programming more complicated. If I store all user accounts on the SQL database, it seems the programming become more easy but it would become unsafety.
Therefore, I would like to know which authentication is better, or does anyone told me there are another authentication method? thanks in advance

If it's outside users, I'd use forms authentication and sql server, it's much more straight-forward and you will feel like you have more control. Also, I never liked external users having a real login to our network.
