I’m in the process of pulling a classic ASP app into Mvc2. I’ll be deploying to an intranet and have been asked to enable support for Windows Authentication. The network I’ll be deploying to has a few AD Domains and I’ll only need to integrate with one in particular. Is it possible to use Windows Authentication and only allow authentication within a particular domain?

Along those same lines, it’s not uncommon for a user to have an account in multiple domains (the account names themselves are typically different) – in the event a user logs in with an “unsupported” domain I’d like to kick them to a login form. Is this possible simply using Windows Auth or am I better off looking for an alternative?

    Pro Tip:

    Whatever you do don’t implement Windows Authentication via IIS. Have a Forms Authentication page in your MVC app but use the LDAP authentication provider. This way you avoid the differences between how browsers implement Windows Authentication (only works well in IE and that’s not a great reason).
