Forms Authentication with AD storage for credentials.

[Max2006]

Hi,

We prefer ASP.NET Forms Authentication in our ASP.NET 3.5 application;
however we have to use Active Directory for user name and password storage.
Is that possible? Is there any sample application to do this?
Thank you,

Max

Hi Max,

Yes, ASP.NET 2.0 provides the ActiveDirectory provider for Forms
authentication. Thus, you can make your forms authentication validate clear
text username/password pair against AD database.

In addition to the MSDN reference you found, here are some other web
articles which may also help some:

authentication and Visual Basic .NET
