Re: Passing credentials to web app

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Sharepoint is not what manages the authentication, it is the ASP.net
framework.
So the question is not how does Sharepoint pass the credentials, it
doesn't.
In otherwords, you question is unrelated to sharepoint, but to how
does
ASP.Net handle authentication. You might be better served to serach
an
ASP.net group.

Hey everyone,

I have an ASP.NET web app that will eventually be incorporated in
SharePoint 2007. I want users to launch the web app out of SharePoint,
and I want their credentials to be sent to the web app so it can know
who they are without requiring them to log in again.

I've looked through the archives, and I know this has been addressed
before, but I still don't have a good sense of how to do it. I've seen
the advice to make sure the web.config file is set properly
(impersonation enabled and anonymous access disabled), but how do I
actually pass the credentials?

Should I build the username and password into the URL (e.g.,http://..../index.aspx&user=user_name&pwd=password)?Should I set a
cookie? Should I build my own web service to accept the credentials
and trigger a new sessions? Is there an easier way?

I'm pretty new to SharePoint, so if someone could point me to a
tutorial or step-by-step instructions on how to do this, I'd be
eternally grateful.

Thanks,

-Dan
