form authentication with web service

[Mohammad F. Bukhari]

Hi folks,

I'm using form authentication on my web application, what I want is when I'm
authenticating, I pass the UserID and Password throw a web service and the
web service will check if he is authenticated or not and return to me what I
need.

Is it possible to connect form authentication with web service?

By the way, I'm using ASP.NET 2.0 on Windows XP

Your help is highly appreciated

Regards,

I'm using login control for the authentication.
