I am looking for a way to log on to a server inside my program using windows authentication of the current user logged in. I thought that perhaps I could use System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name but while that does give a name, I do not see how I can find out the password of the user to enter it in. Anyone know...
I'm looking for the best/easiest way to add extensions to an existing protocol (can't change the actual protocol easily) to allow the user to do windows authentication (NTLM?) in .NET. I looked at the AuthenticationManager class already but it requires that I use Web(Http)Request which isn't an option. NegotiateStream is an option either...

Hi, If you have a web application that will run inside a network, it makes sense for it to support windows authentication (active directory?). Would it make sense to use AD security model as well, or would I make my own roles/security module that some admin would have to configure for each user? I've never dealt with windows security...

There is a form page (~/home/Login) to login in via forms auth. The magic (and trouble) is that only one page (say ~/Home/WinLogin) has to hav...
