Forms based Windows Authentication

Create a page with a form which verifies some user credentials supplied by the user (there are prebuilt controls for this which will integrate with a users database very well built by MicroSoft, or you can build your own - textbox for username, one for password and a button is all it takes...).

*Then in web.config change authentication mode to forms where it currently says windows.*

You can use the ASP.NET configuration tool (Website -> ASP.NET Configuration) to manage users and roles, if you choose to use the Microsoft framework.

There's lot's of good info on google too...

When i try to use the control built into VS.net it does not find the user names from my active directory.

and if i create a form i am not sure how to pass the names and passwords to be authenticated.

When using forms authentication you aren't looking at active directory. Using the built in controls will point to a database of usernames/passwords/role information for users.

If you want to integrate with active directory then you will have to use Windows authentication.

You may be able to do something clever in the aplication to get the Windows username and password for that user then validate those against ones they have entered into a web form built by you...

That what i want to do.
Is have a form. but not form authentication.
The username and password are used from active directory.
So i guess it would be a kind of Mixed mode form?
any idea on how to do this?

Have a butchers at this:

Or ideally I would like to use windows authentication with a Form Based Logon Screen  

Thats in C# i need the VB type :(
