Re: Intranet app via remote location (Internet)



Joe, thanks for your time and informative reply.

How do you want the auth to be done?

I've always used Forms authentication in conjunction with my own SQL tables
(Users, Roles, etc) so I'm not sure how to answer your question. I've never
tried to utilize Active Directory for an internet application but I've had to
maintain a few apps that do (code is ugly and monstrous, using third-party
components).

I've not yet seen an elegant way to make Windows prompt the user for their
Windows un & pw and then allow them access to the site, which is the
functionality I need (just like RDPing to my work machine from home--fill in
my un & pw and I can then access all the network resources I normally have
access to).

I'm not sure about the domain controller. All I know at the moment is the
client has an intranet with many machines connected to it and wants to host
this new site on one of their machines, using existing Windows accounts for
authentication.

I will research the Active Directory membership provider and see where that
leads me. Hopefully I find the veritable pot of gold.

Take care.

Troy
