ASP.Net 2.0 Authentication With SiteMinder

OK - So I know SiteMinder can work with IIS and ASP.Net 2.0. Here is
the problem, SiteMinder from what I understand requires a client on
every IIS box hosting a protected site that requires authentication.
The client catches incoming requests to URLs protected by SiteMinder
and requires the user to authenticate. The license for the SiteMinder
client is NOT cheap.

The problem: In a load balanced IIS web server cluster, I don't want
to have to incur the cost of having the SiteMinder client on every
clustered server. My thought was to configure all the ASP.Net 2.0
application to require authentication and point ASP.Net to a URL on
two separate clustered servers hosting a web service. What I would
then do is install the SiteMinder client on the two separate clustered
servers hosting the web service, and protect the URL for the web
service. Thus any time an ASP.Net application would try to access the
URL for the web service, SiteMinder would be invoked and
authentication would occur etc.

So the question is, has anyone done something similar to this and can
point in the correct direction? Any help would be appreciated.

I have an application that is ISAPI and the only way to secure it is through NT permissions. I need to have a way to login to windows authentication so that when I get to the ISAPI application no boxes come up. I want an ASP page to sit between the user and the ISAPI application. The rest of my application is using authentication that is database driven and wouldn't want the users to know the userid and password. Is this possible? If so...

Hello, In our company, everyone logs in using NT Authentication. I have Integrated Windows Authentication turned on for a section of my website, the only problem is that I have to maintain the list of users allowed to view the website. We also have SiteMinder which forces the person to enter the NT login information and then passes the handle back to the calling page. I was wondering if IIS had something like this? --

Hi everyone, We are currently under-going a new security service and the company is leaning towards using SiteMinder. My question is: why not just use the .NET membership and roles provider and create a custom provider suitable to the business need? What else does SiteMinder do that the .NET framework does not do to facilitate authentication and authorization on .NET web applications? Most importantly, is there anything that the .NET...
