It is not as easy as in the old days of IE and Windows authentication in the browser. This integration is kind of a replacement of the previous implementation we had that authenticated directly on the AD using windows or basic authentication.

You should be able to enable Windows authentication which will login the user on your website with windows credentials - but it requires that the IIS is connected to the AD which is very unocmmon these days. Read more here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/configuration/system.webserver/security/authentication/windowsauthentication/

If you get that to work, you can probably do some magic in code to login the user.

Consider this kind of login as "deprecated" - today you would use a pure browser based login like Facebook login, linkedin or in this case Azure AD login (like logging in to Office 365 etc.). And use it with external authentication in Dynamicweb. This way the login service (Azure AD) will log your users in and take care of keeping them alive.

Hi Roald,

 As it is described here and here you can use the following code to get the current AD logged in user name:

var name = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
