I'm searching for info on how to authenticate a user in the same way that
for example Source Safe does. I would like my system to use Windows as the
authenticator, so that the user doesn't have to log on separately to access
my system.

Hello Peter,
Not sure why do you've given SourceSafe as the example... SourceSafe
databases maintain its own lists of users.
Anyway, I think you should take a look at the WindowsIdentity and
WindowsPrincipa l classes:
using System.Security .Principal;
WindowsIdentity curUser = WindowsIdentity .GetCurrent();
bool allow = curUser.IsAuthe nticated;
WindowsPrincipa l membership = new WindowsPrincipa l(curUser);
bool isAdmin = membership.IsIn Role("BUILTIN\\ Administrators" );

I gave MSS as an example of the workflow, not an example of the technical
aspects. During my research I've learned that the term for the function
I'm looking for is single sign-on, and that is how I see MSS. I never log
on specifically to MSS, I only log on Windows, and if the users are
correctly defined in MSS, I just "get in".
I can also imagine that my system has to have it's own user registry to
cope with it's internal permissions, what functions a user may or may not
use. If not, I'm curious of how such a solution might work.

It's probably because the names of the VSS users match the Windows
logon names. AFAIK your logon name is the first thing the VSS client
attempts to log in to a VSS database, so if the two match, you
"just get in".

Hi,
I've created a little site for my sports club. In the root folder there are
pages that are viewable by every anonymous user but at a certain subfolder
my administration pages should be protected by forms authentication.
When I create forms authentication at root level it works but when I move my
code up to the subfolder I get this error:
Server Error in '/TestProjects/FormsAuthenticationTestingArea' Application.

I am using forms authetication in the web config. i can validate a user
against a database and click on images which makes hidden panels
visible.However when i click on the link inside a panel which should take
user to another pages, it defaults them back to the login page prompting them
to enter username and password.
Could someone please shed some light on this on how i can fix this issue?
Thanks
