Security :: How To Do Mixed Mode Authentication
Jan 13, 2011
I have a question about mixed mode authentication. I've been doing some research into this, but I haven't found the answer yet, so I figured I'd just ask:
I have an internal application that requires login. Right now it's using forms-based authentication. We'd like to make it so that, if you're internal and authenticated against Active Directory, you don't need to login to the application. However, if you're coming in from the outside (or don't have an AD account), it would then require them to login via the forms-based Login.aspx page.
From my research, it seems that the only way to do this is to enable forms based auth as the default membership provider, then on the back-end do a check at Page_Load to pull their login name, match it against the .NET membership and then authenticate them automatically - am I wrong on this?
The documents I've found all seem to point to the user having to login anyway, just the login being stored in AD - instead of having the user just login once to their machine in the morning and using that to verify them and their roles in subsequent applications.

I'm having a tough time implementing mixed-mode authentication (windows & forms based) for my application using IIS 7. Doing it in IIS6 is easy, but the process doesn't translate to 7/7.5 - and my research has led to me to conflicting answers, none of which.
I have redirect page called WindowsLogin.aspx, and a forms-based one called Login.aspx. I'm having difficulty enabling Windows authentication for just WindowsLogin.aspx.

I created a mixed mode authentication mechanism based on a few of the articles that I have read on this topic. It's similar to something like this: [URL]
Basically, there are two web applications. One accepts the Windows Auth and one accepts Forms Auth. The Windows Auth then creates a forms auth ticket and passes control to the Forms auth application. This solution works fine when both applications are housed within the same IIS web site.
Now, order to control the security of this solution we set up multiple IIS web sites on the same machine. Web Site 1 serves external traffic (forms auth) and Web Site 2 serves internal traffic (windows auth).
So the design is that an internal user can hit the site using Windows auth via a internal name (myserver) while the external users use Forms Auth hitting [URL].
All that said, the solution works when the two applications are in the same site. Doesn't work when they are in different sites.

Just to describe the scenario. I have a website. This lives on a webserver. On that webserver is an SQL server. The website connects to this database using windows authentication. I have written a windows form application that connects to the SQL Server on the webserver. This application is being run from a location on out intranet. The Winform application use SQL authentication to connect to the database. The SQL Server didn't have mix mode authentication enabled. So I enabled it. The winform application could now connect to the SQL Server.
This is where it starts getting a little strange.
The Website that was already connecting find using integrated authentication starts failing with:
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'
When you are enabling mixed mode authentication, you are adding another authentication method, why would the original Windows authentication fail?

I am trying to implement single sign on for users within our domain and if the are not then they get re-directed to the login screen to use forms authentication.
I have followed this tutorial below
however I get two issues firstly if I go to my forms authentication page no css or images now display and if i try to login i get an error.
If I go to the login page which should recognise me from the AD I get 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

I had a problem login management studio (Sql server 2005) using windows authentication because it doesn't show me any server name to connect and if I put my computer name and user name (my-PCpatel) login was failed.
So, I decided to uninstall it and install it again using mixed mode authentication. After installation I select sql server authentication instead of windows authentication and put login name as "sa" and password that I had put it during installation. But the connect button is dark gray(the way I can not select it or press it on) while the other button (cancel, help, option) can be selected or pressed.So, why am i not able select or click on connect button?

my user will use form authentication against Active Directory or database. Theres no Windows Integrated Authentication there!!
What i want is when the user submit the authentication form, it will try to validate the user against Active Directory and if it fail, try with the database.
How can i do that? What i had in mind was to build a custom membership provider that will encapsulate the logic but im not sure how to start.

I have a web application where users can authenticate using either SiteMinder or Windows domain accounts. This is actually configured as two separate virtual directories within IIS 6. Both applications need to use the same instance of SSRS. Is it possible to configure the SSRS web application so that if a user is authenticated by SiteMinder it impersonates a Windows account, but if they are already Windows-authenticated that account is used instead?

I have an ASP.net website running with the authentication mode on the web.config file is Windows. The webpages at the root do not need to have login & password form.
Now I created a subfolder called 'reports' and would like to implement a few web pages with the login & password authentication form.
Question, do I need to create another web.config file in the 'reports' folder and update the authentication mode="Forms"?

This is annoying more than anything, but I have no working Intellisense when I use any of my custom web controls in .aspx/.ascx pages. Intellisense in standard <asp:...> controls are fine, as it is in all code-behind files etc.
I'm pretty sure this is caused by Visual Studio attempting to analyse the website's bin folder for custom web controls, and throwing a hissy fit when it gets to one of the DLLs - a (mixed-mode) 64-bit managed C++ assembly (I'm running 64-bit Win 7). It seems that Visual Studio tries to load this assembly, and fails, due to VS being a 32-bit app.
I looked for an option to get VS to ignore the 64-bit assembly (there are no web controls in it - they exist in another standard assembly), but alas, nothing to be found.

I have a problem in my asp application. In my application I have an own authentication mechanism so in the web.config file I have <authentication mode="None"/>
Inside the application users can upload files to the folder I've created (App_Files). I would like to give access to the folder only once they are logged in (Session["Login"] is no null).
I dont want not logged in users to be able to access the files over a url address in the browser (like http://<server>/App_Files/Filename.pdf)

I have the requirement for internal users to acces our web app without loggin in manually so using windows authentication, external users need to be refered to a form based authentication.
Now I have implemented the solution [URL] ....
However I also need to employ roles for authorization. The forms side is all set up but I cannot seem to get it to work for the windows side of things, looking for implementing a mixed mode involving roles?
I tried adding in an extra provider
<providers>
<add name="SqlRoleManager" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" connectionStringName="aspnetdbConnection_dev" applicationName="Corp.Web.GSP"/>
but how to configure it for usse only by the windows users. Secondly if I set it as the default where I have code like
if (Roles.IsUserInRole("Internal") || Roles.IsUserInRole("SysAdmin") || Roles.IsUserInRole("Sales"))
{
I get an
Method is only supported if the user name parameter matches the user name in the current Windows Identity error
<add name="WindowsRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider" />

I wanted my local iis running application to connect my database in sql authentication mode rather than windows mode,
but it is showing errors of " Cannot open database "aspnetdb" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'DBUser'. ". i also ublocked port from firewall,and allowed remote connection of mssql from sql manager, enabled TCP/IP and named piped protocols from SQL surface config, and with sql manager i also changed server authentication mode to sql from windows.
my datastring is <add connectionString="Data Source=PARTHIV-PCSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=aspnetdb;User ID=******;Password=******/" name="LocalSqlServer" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
i made a user named DBUser in database as well i don't understand where it gone wrong ???
here is error log

I have been trying to avoid the windows login userid and password window when I use the Windows Authentication mode for a web site. I need to capture the the windows logon user name without prompting for the user id and password and display that on the web site. I had tried almost everything... changed authentication,security setups on IE and IIS etc... still not being able to avoid the window...

I have an ASP.NET application that can be installed with either Forms Authentication or Windows Authentication. All of my customers install using Windows Authentication. I use Forms Authentication in-house as it is easier for me to work with different clients. But enough about that.
I have a module as part of my application for Mobile Users. It displays a very simple HTML interface for low bandwith phones and air cards. It seems that some phones when going to this type of site that is Windows Authentication, it throws an error saying that you aren't authorized to view the page. From a computer, it will ask for credentials.
What I would like to do is use Windows Authentication Or Forms for my Main Application, but in the MOBILE folder, it would be nice if I could use FORMS Authentication. Can I mix the two? Can I just add a Web.Config to the folder for the Mobile Files and put FORMS Authentication?
The only other way I thought of doing this is:
1) create a seperate installable application that is always FORMS Authentication that is not part of the main application. Which sucks, as I now have to manage two applications.
2) In the main Web.Config I can set that folder to have no authentication and it will be avail to anyone, and then enforce my own authentication on the few pages it contains.

I am working on a very basic ASP.Net 2.0 website that will have a backend based on SQL Server 2005. The website has three basic pages (Home, About, and Contact) that are fully viewable by everyone. However, there is a fourth page called "Employee Login" that must present a Login/Password system to the visitor of the page. Upon successful login, a few more pages shall become accessible to authenticated users only.I need the simplest Form based authentication here however; the User Names and their Passwords are going to be coming from the SQL Database. Setting up the authentication to Form simply locks out the whole website. I need the basic pages to be login-free. Only certain pages need a login.

This could be very straight forward for some of you, but I got caught up. I am doing very simple test - browsing from IIS Manager to see the default page or "under Construction", however I am being challenged to provide my login credential . When I provide my login credential, I am able to see the default page. I wanted to see the default page without providing my credential since Enable anoymous access + basic authentication I am simply wanted to see the default page asit is working on other servers except this one. I have included screen print to make sure may question is clear.

To begin with I work on the large application, that has a WinForms client and server. Server in our case is the set of WCF services. There is one service that is responsible for authentication of users. The logic of authentication is custom and complex and authentication service uses different membership providers.
We want to protect the access to server services for non-authenticated users. The users must firstly authenticate and than use other services (users in this case are the other systems, services, WinForms client, etc.). On this basis, we decided to use the ASP.NET Url/File Authorization feature.
So, I set on the ASP.NET compatibility mode, allowed cookie in all binding configurations, added AspNetCompatibilityRequirements attribute to our services and added the followingconfigurations to config:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms cookieless="UseCookies">
<credentials passwordFormat="Clear" />
</forms>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
...
<location path="AuthenticationService.svc">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
In the authenticate method of our authentication service I add the following code:
public AuthenticationResult AuthenticateUser(string username, string password)
{
AuthenticationResult result = new AuthenticationResult();
result = Authenticate(username, password);
if (result.IsAuthenticated)
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(username, true);
return result;
}
Next, I wrote the following code:
var authClient = new AuthenticationServiceClient();
var result = authClient.AuthenticateUser("user", "password");
var otherClient = new OtherServiceClient();
var temp = otherClient.DoSomething();
But after authentication I can't access to OtherServiceClient...
So, how can I share the call context between the WCF services calls? Could anybody provide some useful articles about this question?
