This week's .NET e-newsletter explains how you can utilize the Windows authentication method in intranet applications and then demonstrates how to utilize Windows-based security in an ASP.NET application. Do you use Windows-based authentication for ASP.NET applications? If not, what type of authentication security do you use?

Appreciate the articel, as it's a good overview of the choices available. I'm in the middle of developing an intranet in asp.net so the samples for windows integration are especially relevant for me. One quibble, though: "The only viable choice is a
Windows-based intranet with IE as the browser standard." This isn't quite true, as the Mozilla browser can also be used with windows/ntlm authentication, as of version 1.4, and lacks nothing else. From a developer point of view, this is rather nice, as I can test authenticate as different users easily (no relogging in, remoting in, or other acrobatics needed).
