If you're using domain validation, Forms Authentication isn't really appropriate. Forms
Authentication is primarily designed for credential verification against a different source, such as
a database, where you have full control over the authentication process.

I'd recommend you stick with Basic or Integrated Windows if you're authenticating against the
domain.
