Windows Authentication in ASP.NET

Question

Hi, is there any way to use windows authentication in ASP.NET without needing a windows account? I need a virtual directory to be passworded using the browser authentication prompt.

Answer 1

If you're using Windows Authentication, you need a Windows account to authenticate against.

If you're up for the challenge, you can set your application up to use ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode). It'll give you way to have accounts that are application specific rather than Domain Wide.
