Pass forms authentication to downstream sharepoint server

We use a .NET web application on one server that is using basic integrated
authentication and therefore getting the windows prompt for domain
credentials. These credentials are then passed to a sharepoint server so the
user can access certain documents, etc. We want to change the web app to use
..NET forms authentication so we can get rid of the ugly windows prompt. My
question is if using the forms based domain authentication will still work in
passing those credentials to the sharepoint server. Is there any literature
that specifically outlines this? I want to know how much code needs to be
changed using the forms based auth instead of the windows prompt. I would
think it doesn't matter much since they are still entering their domain
credentials, just in a nicer and more secure method. Your thoughts or
experiences would be greatly appreciated as we really need the forms
authentication instead of the windows prompt.

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.

Microsoft Sharepoint uses webdav to work with documents, so you can open a document right there and upload it by just clicking the save button and it seems that you are working right in the server and there is no need to save the file in your computer in order to modify it. I would like to have the same effect in my app, but the problem is that I use forms authentication so the users do not have access to the server directly(they are...

Hi All - I'm an MCAD and I've got a real head-scratcher here. I've created a ASP.NET Web Application for a client that essentially is a wrapper for SQL Reporting Services (they wanted a custom security model). The application uses ASP.NET 2.0 and forms authentication to lock down the site. I've used Forms Authentication in the past and have never had the problem I'm about to describe.

I was advised by a Microsoft speaker at a local .Net conference that "SharePoint" had a lot to offer for asp.net developers. I've spent a few hours hunting down links on Sharepoint Services in Server2003 and also SharePoint Portal Server Product. Whenever I try to learn the details of what the SharePoint services have to offer for asp.net developers all roads lead to a video, recorded in 2003 that has to do with "asp.net" and sharepoint....

I have a SharePoint Services 3.0 site running on a Windows 2003 server. The site uses windows authentication. On this server I also have a site that uses anonymous authentication (ASP.NET 2.0). On the anonymous site, a user enters a username and password from a third party authentication store. I check if this is a valid account in the third party authentication store using a web service. If the account is valid, I search our AD to see if this...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
