    Replacing ISAPI web authentication filter with .NET solution?

    Currently, my company's website uses a custom ISAPI filter to map a web
    user to a network user, and give the user access to our website. This
    has worked great for several years. We now want to add .NET
    functionality to our website, and I am looking for a .NET solution to
    replace the ISAPI authentication. We have Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server
    2005 and IIS 6.

    With the current setup, user id, password and the network user id are
    stored in a separate table on SQL Server. I would like to retain that
    structure, as we already have several tools for maintaining the data. I
    have considered a custom implementation of ProfileProvider , but the
    documentation is piss-poor and all reference SQLExpress, which is not on
    our web server.

    What I need is: What is the recommended .NET equivalent to a web
    authentication ISAPI filter? Can someone provide a good example of such
    a solution (VB preferred or C#) that does NOT use the default Profile
    table structure?

    Thanks for any help.

    Microsoft has released the sources for the provider model of ASP.Net 2.0
    to the public. (see
    http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archi...01/421275.aspx)

    This should give you a template to work on.
