Authentication using ASP.NET

Sriram Venkataramani

In our application we have to authenticate users using
Forms authentication, but using the username and password
of the Windows 2000 Active Directories. That is, the user
will enter his username and password in the WebForm and
our code behind will have to authenticate the user.
Futhermore the user can be from any domain in the network.
Also, while authenticating the user, the user has to be
displayed the list of domains available on the network.
The user will select his or her domain from the list. We
are not supposed to use Win32 API for this. Is there any
Active Directory Class which does the listing of all the
domains and authentication of the user?

strange you're not allowed to use Win32 API since you do want to access
Windows-only stuff like the Active Directory

try putting up a native app (can make it with .net too, or VC++6.0) instead
that talks to the Active Directory and is exposed as a (private inside the
firewall) SOAP server. You then talk to it via SOAP from your app (so you
can move your app to Linux/mono's ASP.net version maybe in the future)
