Hey Folks, I am using the LogonUser function (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa378184(VS.85).aspx) to authenticate users.

I am writing a WCF Service which would allow access to operations based on AD user group. If the logged in user is part of groupA, allow him to do operationA, but not operationB and so on and so forth.

Problem: A download link should be displayed in a user's home page. That download link should ONLY be accessible if the user logged in. But the real problem is that the user's home page and the download link are on separate web servers. Is there a way I can send a token with the download link and validate it there? ...

The relevant portion of httpd.conf looks like this: <Location /svn> AuthType SSPI AuthName "My Subversion" SSPIAuth On SSPIAuthoritative On SSPIDomain MYDOMAIN SS...
I have a test that requires me to uses Authentication to check to see if a user has logged in and authenticated before performing its task.

Here's the set-up: I have a server-based application. So, all the data is on a server (call it server 'A') and users connect to that server using a desktop-based rich client. The rich client also allows the user to connect to some other server (call it 'X'), that is completely unrelated to server A. Question: The user has logged into ...
I want to connect to a my facebook application using the facebook java api 2.1.1(http://code.google.com/p/facebook-java-api/). My application is in "Desktop" mode so I should be able to access it outside of a web application. I have not defined any callback url for it as well. My code looks something like this. FacebookJsonRestClient cl...
I have several sites in different domains: example.com, example.org, mail.example.com and passport.example.org. All of the sites are having common look-and-feel and should share the same user base. And in such extreme case I still want all the sites to transparently (as much as possible) share user sessions with the following key proper...

I'm building an intranet ASP.net web application that unfortunately cannot use the built-in membership features because all the users and logins are stored on the company database. It will use Windows authentication and match against this. I'm planning to have my own "users" table in a separate database that will handle access privileg...

I am Curious about how cross domain authentication work? for example. To sign into Orkut.com you need to to sign in via Google.com. So the authentication happens at Google.com and it sets the cookie.

Hi guys, I'm creating a small servlet. It's hosted at root, "/", and whatever comes after "/" is a resource, like "/myanim.swf". Most of the files are public, but some are private. For public files, they are just served, but for private files, I wish the browser to present an authentication box and have a Digest authentication sent back ...

The idea is that we want to tie in a 'buddy' functionality to a communications app. Very broadly, I believe that the application clients would connect to a central database/auth service which would provide the buddy data and then allow client apps to connect directly to eachother, without passing ...
I'm really new to asp.net and mvc, so I'm a bit lost. I'm managed to log in with OpenID in my application using this Tutorial.

Session data is stored in the cache (on my development server I use a SQLite database, so that is no error source). I'm using bleeding edge Django 1.1svn. Enter the problem: I want to use ...
