ASP.NET MVC – Authenticate users against Active Directory, but require username and password to be inputted

by

You can use the standard Internet application template with forms authentication and insert an ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider into the web.config:

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="ADConnectionString" connectionString="LDAP://YOUR_AD_CONN_STRING" />
</connectionStrings>

<system.web>
    <authentication mode="Forms">
        <forms name=".ADAuthCookie" loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn"
               timeout="15" slidingExpiration="false" protection="All" />
    </authentication>
    <membership defaultProvider="MY_ADMembershipProvider">
        <providers>
            <clear />
            <add name="MY_ADMembershipProvider" 
                 type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider" 
                 connectionStringName="ADConnectionString"
                 attributeMapUsername="sAMAccountName" />
        </providers>
    </membership>
</system.web>

In this way you get the Internet application template login form, and it validates against AD for you.

Then it’s just a matter of some AccountController cleanup to remove reset password/change password/register functionality leaving just Login.
