POHow to set up windows authentication just for a single route in ASP.NET MVC on iis6?
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm developing a web application and I need to mix Forms & Windows authentication together. </p> <p>The approach which I selected is this: authentication method on all the web site has to be forms auth. There is a form page (<code>~/home/Login</code>) to login in via forms auth. The magic (and trouble) is that only one page (say <code>~/Home/WinLogin</code>) has to have auth metod set up to be windows auth. This page is used to read <code>HttpContext.User.Identity.Name</code> to get the windows user name.</p> <p><strong><em>What I don't know is how to set up the win auth on iis6 for the one particular route?</em></strong></p> <p>The route looks like <code>~/Home.ashx/WinLogin</code>. Ok, but what then? I tried to create a directory Home.ashx in the virtual directory and subdirectory WinLogin. But then <code>~/Home.ashx/Login</code> (with the login form) stopped working.</p> <p>Because on iis6 we have to use a ashx handler it seems that there is no other way how to do it instead of creating a ordinary web page <code>~/WinLogin.aspx</code> that does the work. However I wanted to avoid that and use MVC only.</p> <p>Just for info how to setup iis7: <a href="http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2008/02/11/IIS-7.0-Two_2D00_Level-Authentication-with-Forms-Authentication-and-Windows-Authentication.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">IIS 7.0 Server-Side blog</a> It's not perfect (Mike Volodarsky had to create custom forms auth module), but it works.</p>
