Windows authentication is not supported as it is. You will have to tweak the 
login page to validate the username and password against Windows and then use 
Membership.CreateUser to create a user account using the username. After that 
call this:

UserSetup FirstVisitHomeTab(string userName, string pageTitle, bool 
isAnonymous, bool isFirstVisitAfterLogin)

isFirstVisitAfterLogin = true

Thanks for the reply. I have now moved to Dropthings-2.6.2.

I coded the below in Default.aspx's Page_Load function:

if (!Membership.ValidateUser(Profile.UserName, "Password"))
        {
            bool activationRequired = ConstantHelper.ActivationRequired;

            RegisterUserResponse registerUserResponse = null;
            using (var facade = new Facade(AppContext.GetContext(Context)))
            {
                registerUserResponse = facade.RegisterUser(Profile.UserName, "Password", Profile.UserName, activationRequired);
            }
        }

My question is: where should I add the below that you mentioned in your reply?

UserSetup FirstVisitHomeTab(string userName, string pageTitle, bool 
isAnonymous, bool isFirstVisitAfterLogin)

isFirstVisitAfterLogin = true

You need to call the FirstVisitHomeTab right before calling RegisterUser using 
the Profile.UserName and pass isFirstVisitAfterLogin as true.

I believe you mean FirstVisitHomePage not "FirstVisitHomeTab". 

_Setup = facade.FirstVisitHomePage(Profile.UserName, pageTitle, false, true);

It should be tab. I changed "Page" to "Tab" in latest version to avoid 
confusion.

albertlse, did you have to do any more customization to get Dropthings-2.6.2 to 
work with active directory / Windows authentication? If you could share / 
publish your solution it would be very helpful. I tried just the steps here and 
have not yet tweaked the login page.

rommelb, I am using Dropthings-2.6.4 now as 2.6.2 is no longer available.

I customized it to work with Windows Authentication.

My default.aspx Page_Load function looks like this:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!Membership.ValidateUser(Profile.UserName, "Password"))
        {
            bool activationRequired = ConstantHelper.ActivationRequired;

            RegisterUserResponse registerUserResponse = null;
            var facade = Services.Get<Facade>();
            {
                registerUserResponse = facade.RegisterUser(Profile.UserName, "Password", Profile.UserName, activationRequired);
            }
        }
    }

Also, I add <authentication mode="Windows"></authentication> to web.config.

It auto-register the user on the first load of the homepage. 

However, I encountered a problem in 2.6.4. I have reported this problem in 
Issue #118 (http://code.google.com/p/dropthings/issues/detail?id=118)

Till now there's no response to the issue I have reported.

rommelb, do you mind to check is you encounter the same in Issue #118?

Hope omaralzabir or anyone can help to resolve Issue #118.

Thank you.

albertlse - any more success in getting this to work with windows 
authentication?

I have made the changes you suggested above.  I added the Page_Load and also 
changed the web config as above (and removed the existing Forms authentication).

Do I need to do anything else?

I have the latest version which I think is 2.6.5....

Thanks for any help!
