10. ASP.NET supports the concept of locally and remotely authenticated users. With local
authentication the user is validated using their Windows credentials when they attempt to access
the web site. This can be useful in an Intranet environment. With remote authentication, a user is
prompted for their login details when accessing the web site, and these credentials are checked
against the membership information stored in a database server such as MySQL Server. You will
now see how to choose this form of authentication.
Start the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool. This can be done quickly by clicking the small
hammer/Earth icon in the Solution Explorer. You can also launch this tool by selecting Website,
ASP.NET Configuration from the main menu.
11. In the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool click the Security tab.
12. Now click the User Authentication Type link.
13. Select the From the internet radio button. The web site will now need to provide a form to allow
the user to enter their login details. These will be checked against membership information stored in
the MySQL database.
