I created a custom login page using information from David's site (Thanks David). All works fine except in the following situation:

My company has multiple domains - An employee logs into windows with Domain123\username. There user account on SharePoint is DomainXYZ\username. When the click on "Employee Login" on the custom page they receive "Error: Access Denied" You are login in as Domain123\username. When selecting Log in as a Different User it takes me back to the custom page and if I click on "Employee Login" I receive a blank page.

Instead of going to the Custom Page I'd like a Window's Authentication Log in to open so the person can login with as a different user. How can I do this? I'm very new to this and have no idea what coding is needed.

Thanks in advance

To login the user using windows authentication from your custom login page, you can simply redirect them to SharePoint's built in windows authentication page:

/_windows/default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f_layouts%2fAuthenticate.aspx%3fSource%3d%252F&Source=%2F

I think creating the custom login page is in relation to having FBA users from the database. However the you're taking about Windows authentication?

I may be wrong (not been doing this long myself) but why would you have a custom login page for windows authentication?

  • in regard to why have a custom form - we are using Claims Base and have both Windows and FB users. The out-of-box login can be confusing (do I want Widows or Forms Authentication?), disclaimers need to be on the login page, password resets, and registration.

  • Ah right, actually I wouldn't know how to do a custom dual login screen. I have the same setup, so I used the windows account as an initial account to set some things up, but once I had a FBA account, I added it to the site collection administrators and now only use FBA, however, it would be interesting to know how to initiate a windows login prompt!
