Thanks for the response.

Its an intranet application. All users are authenticated with the active
directory and I would like to use that in my asp.net application too. The
goal is to allow certain users with specefic priviliges from the AD to see
special pages and others dont see them. However everybody has to
authenticated via the AD. Ideally I would like to see a windows pop up, which
asks for the UserID and pw.

Thanks
