Passport authentication in asp.net

Passport authentication is a centralized authentication service that uses Microsoft’s Passport Service to authenticate the users of an application. It allows the users to create a single sign-in name and password to access any site that has implemented the Passport single sign-in (SSI) service. The following code snippet illustrates how we can implement Passport Authentication in ASP.NET.

<configuration>
<system.web>
<authenticationmode=”Passport”>
<passportredirectUrl=”LoginForm.aspx” />
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users=”?” />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>
