Understanding ASP.NET AJAX Authentication and Profile Application Services : ASP.NET Ajax Tutorials
The Authentication service allows users to provide credentials in order to receive an authentication cookie, and is the gateway service to allow custom user profiles provided by ASP.NET. Use of the ASP.NET AJAX authentication service is compatible with standard ASP.NET Forms authentication, so applications currently using Forms authentication (such as with the Login control) will not be broken by upgrading to the AJAX authentication service.
As part of the .NET Framework 3.5, Microsoft is delivering a sizable environment upgrade; not only is a new development environment available, but the new Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) features and other language enhancements are forthcoming. In addition, some familiar features of other toolsets, notably the ASP.NET AJAX Extensions, are being included as first-class members of the .NET Framework Base Class Library. These extensions enable many new rich client features, including partial rendering of pages without requiring a full page refresh, the ability to access Web Services via client script (including the ASP.NET profiling API), and an extensive client-side API designed to mirror many of the control schemes seen in the ASP.NET server-side control set.
This whitepaper looks at the implementation and use of the ASP.NET Profiling and Forms Authentication services as they are exposed by the Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX ExtensionsThe AJAX Extensions make Forms authentication incredibly easy to support, as it (as well as the Profiling Service) is exposed through a Web Service proxy script. The AJAX Extensions also support custom authentication through the AuthenticationServiceManager class.
This whitepaper is based on the Beta 2 release of the Visual Studio 2008 and the .NET Framework 3.5. This whitepaper also assumes that you will be working with Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2, not Visual Web Developer Express, and will provide walkthroughs according to the user interface of Visual Studio. Some code samples may utilize project templates unavailable in Visual Web Developer Express.
