Thank you for providing your thoughts/efforts. I have
seen this post online and was evaluating it for a couple
days prior to my post in this newsgroup. Your solution
has two problems for me.

1) In the particular case where the user is not in AD,
they will be prompted by a dialog box for
username/password. This user will try multiple times
with this dialog prior to being pushed to another page
asking them to register. In my opinion, this is
unacceptable as we are forcing an uneducated user to try
multiple times and then ask them once more. My users
would not understand this.

2) In the code that you provided I am still unable to
retrieve the identity (username) of the logged in user
even though they may be authenticated. Unless the
web.config authentication method is identified as Windows
i cannot get the "logon user" variable. So this posses
additional problems for me.

It appears that my only choice is to have 2 sites on my
intranet. 1) that does windows authentication (where I
can retrieve username/domain) and let them in
2) and another that does pure Forms authentication where
I can explain that "domain/user" cannot be authenticated
and therefore must "register" for access.

thoughts?

thank you for your time
dave
