    No, that is the problem. The application runs at a separate site but the
    client wants their users to be able to log in with their local (domain)
    name/password (i.e. not a separately managed name/password for my app). I
    am trying to figure out a secure way of authenticating against the domain
    across the Internet.

    In regards to LDAP, how does it address these types of issues? How would
    someone be able to authenticate against an LDAP server?

    Is this even possible?

    There are solutions where you set up a VPN and then have the company domain
    trust the domain the site runs under but that is pretty much out of the
    question as my client is not going to trust a foreign domain (from the
    datacenter) where IIS is running under.

    Thanks,

    Tom
