If I understand your question, you want to allow a user to select which authentication mode will be used to log on to a web site.

I'm pretty sure that the <system.web> block, which contains <authentication>, is read and processed before any pages are compiled. That is to say, the authentication mode must already be set before the server can serve up any pages, so that it knows how to authenticate the user.

I don't think you can do what you want to do.

Added I did some poking around with Google and confirmed my answer. The only way to do what you seem to be asking is to create separate web applications, each using a different authentication method.

Solution 2

look at this:

<authentication mode="Windows" />
   <authorization>
       <allow users="*" />
   </authorization>

you can look for allow and deny mode in web.config :)

Solution 3

you can create roles and assign authorization basing on roles
for example:

<authorization><br />
 <allow manager="" /><br />
  <allow members="" /><br />
  <deny users="?" /><br />
 </authorization>
