WindowsAuthenticationModule Class
.NET Framework 2.0
Sets the identity of the user for an ASP.NET application when Windows authentication is enabled. This class cannot be inherited.
Namespace: System.Web.Security
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
When the authentication Mode is set to Windows, the WindowsAuthenticationModule sets the User property of the current HttpContext to an IPrincipal object that represents the Windows identity supplied by IIS for the current request. If IIS uses anonymous authentication, then the WindowsAuthenticationModule uses the identity returned by the GetAnonymous method.
The WindowsAuthenticationModule exposes an Authenticate event that enables you to provide a custom IPrincipal object for the User property of the current HttpContext. The Authenticate event is accessed by specifying a subroutine named WindowsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate in the Global.asax file for your ASP.NET application.
