I’ve built a custom login system for my asp.net mvc 1.0 web application as I store large amounts of user data for each user (I decided against trying to add custom tables for the windows authentication due to this). The login system basically uses SQL Server (2005 or 2008) and my own database and table structure which is pretty standard. A users table with an unique id, username and hashed password which is linked to my other tables of user related data.
My question is, how can I tie my system to use Windows Authentication logins. I would like to allow the administrator to for a user (as defined in my system) select a Windows Authentication login and perhaps add a value to something in my custom table that I can use to authenticate them?
The question is probably phrased wrong and I might have misunderstood how Windows Authentication works but I would like to offer the option in my web application.
If you have Windows Auth enabled on your site then you should be able to use User.Identity.Name to get their NT/Active Directory user name of the currently logged in user, and match that to a column in your users table.
