Windows Authentication

Users are authenticated by Windows and IIS, Web Map Layers manages user and group access rights.

1. In the web.config uncomment or add the following to the appSettings <add key="owin:appStartup" value="Windows" />
2. Comment out all other entries that start with <add key="owin:
3. Locate the following section:

   <authentication   mode="Windows">

   <forms loginUrl="Login.aspx" timeout="3000" />

   </authentication>

and replace it with:

<authentication mode="Windows">

<forms loginUrl="Login.aspx" protection="All" defaultUrl="Map.aspx" path="/" timeout="3000" />

</authentication>

<authorization>

<deny users="?" />

</authorization>

This will set Windows Authentication for the whole site (both map and admin page).

4. Modify the <identityConfig/> section to include:

   <identityConfig

   ConnectionString="ConfigurationDatabase"

   AllowOnlyAlphanumericUserNames="false"

   RequireUniqueEmail="false" />

5. In IIS authentication for the website, set Windows Authentication to Enabled. Disable all other authentication.
