Read Authentication Type From Web.Config

[hilary321]

Hi-

I am using ASP.NET 2.0. I would like to have a generic function in my
application that will determine what type of authentication to use and
then proceed with authentication, either Windows or Forms.

How do I read the authentication type from Web.Config?

Thanks in advance,

You are defining the type in the web.config... so checking from there seems
kind of a waste.... or am I missing something?

I have a page object that I'm including the code to perform the Windows
authentication. If the authentication mode is set to forms in the
web.config, I don't want to execute this code. I would like the page
object to be able to be used for either authentication mode. Something
like this maybe:

if (authentication_mode == "Windows")
{
.....
}

Is there a way to tell in the application what kind of authentication
was used?

Thanks,
Renae

But what is your application doing?
Or what is it going to do.

Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("~");
SystemWebSectionGroup grp = (SystemWebSectionGroup)config.GetSectionGroup("sys tem.web");
AuthenticationSection auth = grp.Authentication;
if (auth.Mode == AuthenticationMode.Forms)
{
}
else if (auth.Mode == AuthenticationMode.Windows)
{
}
