I'm looking for example of Silverlight 5 RIA services with authentication with active directory,
that can be downloaded and that works
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I have not found a complete downloadable example. The easiest way is to create a new Silverlight Business Application and then make the following changes to the 3 files specified (Web.config, App.xaml.cs, User.cs):
App.xaml.cs
Comment out (or remove) the following lines:
//webContext.Authentication = new FormsAuthentication();
Uncomment the following lines:
webContext.Authentication = new WindowsAuthentication();
User.cs
add the [ProfileUsage...] statement to the public partial class user so it looks like the following:
public partial class User : UserBase
{
[ProfileUsage(IsExcluded=true)] ///NEEDED FOR WINDOWS/ACTIVE DIRECTORY LOGON
public string FriendlyName { get; set; }
}
Web.config:
Comment out (or remove) the following lines:
<!--<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".AuthenticationTest_ASPXAUTH" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>-->
Uncomment the following lines:
<authentication mode="Windows"/>
Comment out (or remove) the following lines:
<!--<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="DefaultRoleProvider">
<providers>
<clear />
<add name="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider" applicationName="/" />

Add the following lines:

<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="winAuthBasicHTTPBinding">
<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
<transport clientCredentialType="Ntlm"/>
</security>
