hi, Authentication is the process of obtaining identification credentials such as name and password from a user and validating those credentials against some authority. If the credentials are valid, the entity that submitted the credentials is considered an authenticated identity. Once an identity has been authenticated, the authorization process determines whether that identity has access to a given resource. please refer http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/98950/ASP-NET-authentication-and-authorization it is good article on how to set Authentication. hope this help.
