You can use client application services to validate users by using forms authentication. To validate users, you will typically call the static Membership.ValidateUser method, which internally calls the ClientFormsAuthenticationMembershipProvider.ValidateUser(String, String) method. Alternatively, you can call the ClientFormsAuthenticationMembershipProvider.ValidateUser method directly. You can call this overload to pass in a rememberMe value in addition to the username and password values.
