HOWTO: Add User To Membership System After Being Windows Authentic

[Guest]

My website users will all come from the same domain after they first login to
the network in the morning; therefore I would like to use the benefits of
Windows Authentication. But I would like to use the benefits of the
Membership system for things like controlling access to certain web pages
using Roles, password retrieval, etc.

I think the best way to use both authentication systems is to declare Forms
authentication in the web.config file, but to get the username from
Request.Servervariables("LOGON_USER"), contrive a password and email address,
and do a Membership.CreateUser.

How do I programmatically login a user?

Hi Dan,

If you've got the user's name you can log the user in like this:

FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie _
("JackieReeve", True)

Is that what you meant?
