Active Directory authentication with initial page open (mvc 4)

Question

I want first page available to everyone and through form (no popup) and Active Directory authentication.

Everything is fine if I use Windows authentication but as I said I don't want popup and I do want first page aviable and with login form fields. Is this possible? If so how to achieve that?

Answer 1

Yes it is possible. You can setup your login controller's login function with [AllowAnonymous] which will make it visible to user even if user is not logged in and rest of the controllers you can specify [Authorize] ... Infect if you create a new template project with type of project as Intranet which will automatically setup your project with windows authentication.
