  need help with windows authentication

  Dec 17, 2012 10:52 PM|LINK

  I have a folder with photos and videos on a server and on that folder I prevented anonymous access and turned on Integrated windows authentication. Now I have been looking for a way for my web app to access files in that folder by passing the crendentials in the code behind without prompting the username/password dialog box to the user. In other words if i try to directly access a file in that folder throught the browser I will get prompted to enter my crendentials but if i go throught my webapp the webapp will pass the crendentials in the code behind...

  Been looking for a solution help much appreciated..

  I think giving access to Group "AUTHORITY\AUTHENTICATED USERS" to that specic folder will solve your problem[in security tab of folder properties], for the authenticated domain users, but not for anonymous.

  if you wanna acheive this with your code for everyone, please refer.
