Member	eric.rovtar-hudsonchapel - 8/26/2010 5:30:00 PM ActiveDirectory on Seperate Hosting Hi! Can you use ActiveDirectory integration even if we'll be hosting our site on a separate server off-site? Thanks! -Eric

RE:ActiveDirectory on Seperate Hosting

Let me ask you this as well. What happens whenever a Windows authenticated user visits the site from a home computer? Will they still be prompted to login and able to use their Windows username and password?

Am I correct in assuming that they'll first have to visit from their work computer which will setup their Windows user information in Kentico?

Thanks!

RE:ActiveDirectory on Seperate Hosting

Hi,

I do not see any problems doing so - you need to ensure that the server will be able to access the domain and active directory within it.

Also, you can consider using the mixed mode authentication to achieve your need from the second post.

Here are some useful links:

Custom security handler
