Forms vs Windows Authentication

Hello Everybody,

I am new to .Net Programming and am using ASP.Net 2.0 with C# to build a
web application. The application will be used on an intratnet currently but
in the future will be opened up as an internet application.

Is the Windows or Forms Authentication the best way to go? Are there better
alternatives. Could I start with Windows Authentication and then go to some
sort of mixed mode in the future?

I have a website which has both secure and non-secure pages. I want to uses forms authentication. How do I accomplish this? Originally I had my web.config file in the root with Forms Authentication set up and it worked just fine. Then I realized that I needed to have some pages unsecure. I then created 2 directories. One named Secure and the other named Public. I placed my web.config file in my

Hi gurus This problem is about calling Web services secured by Forms Authentication from Windows Forms user controls embedded in HTML. Using the object tag I’ve managed to include a Windows Forms user control in my HTML page (a .NET alternative to good old ActiveX). I’d like to use my control to call web-services instead of using behaviours (webservices.htc).

I have built a web app that uses forms authentication. There isn't a "remember me" feature (i.e. the authentication cookie is not permanent). When you close the browser, and open a new one, you must log in again. This is the behavior I expected. I just discovered that if I have a browser window open (to anything) prior to opening my web app in a new browser window, it appears to share session information. I can then open and close my...

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.

Hi, I've configured a web app to use windows authentication and also set up two separate subdirectories to use forms authentication. It appears to work fine but I have never seen a sample that demonstrates both in the same web.config and I don't like assuming i've done this correctly and securely. Please take a look at the following from my web.config and let me know what you think(its not the full config-- just stripped down to its...
