I want to use this project in a large website I'm getting ready to develop, but I am in a situation where I will need to prompt for login using Active Directory rather than using Auto-login in some cases.
For instance, when a user is off-site and not directly logged into our Domain, I want them to be able to access the protected areas of the site. Is there any way to accomplish this using your project? Or maybe there is a simpler way to accomplish this that I'm not aware of.
You could change the way the logon user control works. (code in WindowsLogon.ascx.cs)
if a user is in your domain their browser should pass intergrated credentials, the code automatically logs the user on when this happens.
I think you could check the "AUTH_TYPE" server variable (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms524602(v=vs.90).aspx) and if this isn't set you could then use the login page to collect the user credentials like a normal login page.
Thanks for the quick reply ... I think I understand ... sorry, a bit of a novice here. There are sections of the site that I want to be available to anyone (logged in or not). By disabling the anonymous access, won't that require that ALL users of the website log in?

ofcouse you could just prompt is LOGON_USER is blank. - probibly better .
