For the most part your code seems to work fine, I was able to
authenticate, and see the session variable "UserID" on the landing
page.
I did change a couple of things...
Dim strAuthenticationType = Context.User.Identity.AuthenticationType
If Context.User.Identity.AuthenticationType = "Negotiate" Then
Dim ChkAuthenticate As WindowsPrincipal = New
WindowsPrincipal(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent)
If ChkAuthenticate.Identity.Name <> "" And
ChkAuthenticate.Identity.IsAuthenticated = True Then
Session("UserId") =
Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER").Split("\\")(1)
Response.Redirect("HorzMenu.aspx", False)
ElseIf ChkAuthenticate.Identity.IsAuthenticated = False Then
'redirect to displayerror page
Response.Redirect("AccessControl/frmdisplayerrorpage.aspx?InvalidLogin="
& 10)
End If
End If
Instead of reading an authentication type from an appsetting in the
config file, I read it directly from the current user identity, notice
it is not Windows, but Negotiate, despite what the web.config says
<authentication mode="Windows" />
The other thing you have to make sure of, is that you are denying
anonymous users so that the app will authenticate. This can be set in
the web.config
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
If you are sure you are setting the session variable on this page, but
still getting nothing in the landing page, I would bet it is because
the landing page belongs to another web application. have you set up
AccessControl as its own web app? If so, it would not have access to
the session values set in the app that holds your login page.
