I am working on a project of developing a web UI. The project requires .NET implementation. I currently published the website on Windows server 2008 with IIS 7.5 for testing. The project asks for and login/out page as the entrance to the main UI. The login/out page should asks for username and password with some security questions. And it also enables user to change and save the password. The authentication technique has to be implemented using digested authentication.
I have already tested the digest authentication after enabling it in IIS. It works good with popping up a window asking for the username and password.However, I have a doubt whether the digest authentication allows for customized login/out page and ability of changing and saving the password (which will most likely be realized with form authentication to the best of my knowledge). I believe there might be (or not?) some ways of doing it, anyone can guide me to some references or sample codes?

I'm trying to create an application that mixes windows authentication with forms authentication. The idea is simple: whenever the browser is able to use NTLM and the user has permissions, then he should be automatically logged in. When that doesn't happen, the user must be redirected to a page that shows a login form. I've found an old article (http://mvolo.com/iis-70-twolevel-authentication-with-forms-authentication-and-windows-authentication/) and I've also found a sample online (https://github.com/patuww/P2000DemonstrationProjects/tree/master/MultiAuthExample) which should be able to solve my problem.
Unfortunately, it's not working and I was wondering if there's any more info about this.
Thanks.

I have a demo site that requires a simple login security similar to basic authenication. When a url is entered, a login popups and prompts for username/password. Unfortunately, basic authentication is not available in Azure. Something that requires very little code and I can just store my username/password in the webconfig.
First, basic authentication is always customizable, it doesn't necessary mean that Windows accounts are used. You can pretty much plug your custom membership provider here, as I've blogged once:
http://www.wiktorzychla.com/2013/11/basic-authentication-module-with-custom.html
Second, using forms authentication with a custom membership provider is always a simple option. In your provider, passwords can be read from anywhere.
While using Windows Organizational authentication in the ASP.net MVC project, I am unable to access the /Manager portion of PirahnaCMS. Whenever I attempt to login, it just redirects back to the login page. Is there a solution to this problem, or a workaround?
Someone asked this question, but no one posted a solution: How to get to Dashboard

The Piranha CMS manager uses forms authentication. If you've configured another form of authentication in your main web.config the manager login won't work. In the upcoming version (2.3.0) the authentication mechanism will be replaceable, but in the current version the manager needs forms authentication.
You have two possible solutions:
1) Try configure the manager area to use Forms authentication by adding a separate web.config to this area.
2) Set the "front-application" to run in passive mode, i.e. disable the manager. Add a different web without the front-end and just the manager pointing to the same database.

I would like to apply a basic 2nd level of security by adding some form of web folder password protection, so that we only allow users with the global username and password to be able to access the logon page, where we are using forms based authentication.
I am not sure whether this is done from the IIS Manager (Windows 7) or by editing a web.config file ?
If you google for "Forms Authentication IIS", first item returned is this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff647070.aspx
This does a good cover of the issue.
If you need to apply that to a particular folder, use location and authorization in web.config as below:

I have been in the same situation. Given that you can't enable forms authentication and basic/windows authentication at the same time in IIS we ended up using Helicon Ape and .htaccess files for the digest based authentication and configured the web app itself to use forms authentication. It works well so far. We needed this because of client requirements. I wouldn't really recommend this in practice. It's fairly annoying for users having to log in twice.
I am trying to figure out how to implement an ASP.NET page with Windows Authentication without getting that annoying IIS login box.
I currently have 3 domains in my network so all the people logging in would have to prefix their user names with the domain. This is not user friendly. I would like to have a custom login page that would have a domain combo box.
Most examples I found implement this using Form security, however I need Windows Authentication since I want to connect to the SQL server using Integrated Authentication rather than a hard coded user name and password.
Does anyone know of a good article or sample code that shows how to implement this?
The following links to an article that explains how to authenticate a windows user using forms authentication, it uses a call to the native win32 api function LogonUser to acheive this. This way you can design your own custom login page with a drop down list to select a domain. Take a look, perhaps it will help.
Windows Authentication using Form Authentication
To get this setup so you don't have the authentication prompt, you are going to need to have the domains trust the accounts from one another. This article should get you pointed in the right direction:
