IntraNet Authentication

J

Jason Dekok

Hello all,

I hope my question is not too basic. I am working on an intranet and would like to avoid prompting users for a login. I know that everyone who uses the site will already be logged into windows (via Active Directory). Is there any way I can find out their user name or what groups they belong to without having them log in again? I would like to restrict access based on the groups they belong too.

Currently the site is written in ASP 3.0 but I am not adverse to using ASP.NET. I have tried a couple samples (using vb.net) of authenticating against active directory from a web page but have not had any success. Plus I want to avoid the extra login if I can.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jason

Sure this is possible! You'll have to use Integrated Windows Authentication.
I suggest you post your question in the ASP.NET newsgroup since this one is
for web services... :)
