advice - spoofing an active directory login?

N

nikespex

I am working on an application that is protected behind Active
Directory. In special cases users will be authenticated elsewhere on a
separate system via a web-based login. When they reach my application
I need to be able to log the user in automatically without prompting
them with a Windows login pop-up (for Active Directory).

Example: User visits www.foo.com and successfully logs in as Jane.
Jane then visits www.bar.com and because she has already authenticated
at foo.com I want to automatically log her in as the Active Directory
user "Jane" on my application at bar.com without her seeing the Windows
login prompt.

Any advice for how this can be accomplished? I'm using class ASP for
the UI to the application.

Much thanks,
Ryan

You can only do this with forms base (basic) authentication -- something you
could actually capture the password with. Integrated (Kerberos) is time
sensative and won't allow the reuse of the password.

Hello,
How dose your timefime look for delivery this application? ADFS - Active
Directory Federation Service should help you with this. How ever the ADFS is
a new technology and will shipp with Windows Server 2003 R2, the current
state is now RC1.

Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) is based on the emerging,
industry-supported Web Services Architecture, which is defined in WS-*
specifications. ADFS helps you use single sign-on (SS0) to authenticate
users to multiple, related Web applications over the life of a single online
session

Have a look at:

Is there a way to set values within ASP to make them appear as though
they were posted via a form? (as per your advice below)

Basically I'm going to have info from the user's previous login passed
in and I need to be able to authenticate them against AD without them
entering their login info again.

(sorry if my questions seem elementary - I'm a Coldfusion dev, so AD
and ASP are new to me)
