Security model for client/server application without IIS

Bob
I am having trouble grasping the components I need to develop and put
together in order to have a solid, integrated security authentication
mechanism for a custom C# .NET application that involves a client application
connecting to a remote Windows (server) application that is not running IIS
or SQL Server. I want the users to be able to seemlessly start the
application on the client, use the same credentials they used to log on to
their Windows workstation without having to retype them and have the option
to provide the credentials manually. When received on the server side
application, I would like to authenticate it against various groups
(installed with the server application) in Active Directory to provide roles
based permissions to application functionality.

Basically, I want the same abilities that IIS uses when a client browser
attempts to access a secured page - but I do not want to include another
unnecessary layer into the total solution. With all that I have read, I know
there is a way, however, I cannot put the pieces together logically and
cannot find a suitable example of this. The communication transport can be
named pipes or TCP or other alternatives, however I really want a seemless
logon managed via Active Directory.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi, I am trying to find the minimum security settings to allow a windows control embedded in IE have full trust. If I give the entire Intranet zone full trust, this works. However, this is very broad and gives the entire zone high privleges. I tried giving just the assembly full trust (using the full URL for the DLL), but this doesn't seem to work.

Hi, A newcomer to .Net (I've held out as long as I can.). I am using VS.Net 2003. I am writing some web apps and I am confronted with the usual issues that one faces when coming from a Windows, Apache, Mysql, PHP (WAMP) background. Is it a common practice, or even acceptable, to insert addition form tags to avoid the issues of passing form data to another webform, triggering validator controls for unrelated input controls, etc. ?
