Re: ASP application using ASP.NET Forms Authentication

You can do that - but it requires IIS6/ASP.NET 2.0 -

just do a wild card mapping in your app settings for the aspnet_isapi.

Then all calls will go through ASP.NET first, and thus through FormsAuth. But you have to find a way to "transport" the values you may care about (username, roles) from ASP.NET to ASP.

You can achieve that by deriving from DefaultHttpHandler. I wrote about it here:

I actually have a complete walkthrough of that scenario in my book (see below ;)

Hi,

I´m working in an already developed and complex ASP Application, we
are now with some authentication problems and reading about it, I
discovered that Forms Authentication can solve our problems. Is it
possible to use forms authentication without chaging all de
application to a .NET plataform ?

Thanks,

Leandro David
