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?

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.

But with windows authentication Enabled the registration doesn't recognise my AD login and password. Any ideas why? Should I map it somehow to my AD server? – arth81 May 22 '15 at 10:03
You have to implement the logic to validate your login against your AD http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10279140/configure-asp-net-mvc-for-authentication-against-ad – Hakunamatata May 22 '15 at 10:11
