Auto Login

[dvannoy]

I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I'm creating a simple asp.net app and wanted to avoid the domain users logging into the app. I would like to use their domain credentials from their workstation login. Not sure how to do this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I don't know if this issue is resolved but you can add the following to your web.config file:

<authentication mode="Windows"/> 
<authorization>
   <allow roles="DomainName\Administrators"/> 
</authorization>

<identity impersonate="true"/>

Note: Replace DomainName with your actual domain name.

Also, even though identity impersonation is activated, it is not mandatory. It just provides extra layer of security.

Note also, that even administrators are also allowed access.

Thanks. so how do you capture the users name that's logged into the domain/application ?

In VB:

Dim EmployeeLogin As String = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")

In C#

string EmployeeLogin = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name;

Not sure why you broke those lines of code out based on language. You can do both of those lines of code in each language.
Each line will return different values
