ASP.NET Forms Authentication. The LogonName and
LogonPassword properties are related to authentication methods
built into HTTP. Methods like Basic (forms) Authentication and
Windows Integrated Authentication.
Something like ASP.NET forms based authentication requires
a different kind of method because it is under your
programmatic control. Because it is under your programmatic
control - ABCpdf cannot authenticate itself. Because
Authentication is under your programmatic control - you have
to Authenticate ABCpdf.
You will need to allow ABCpdf to pass in a user name and
password to your page (probably in encoded form via the URL)
and then have that page call the
FormsAuthentication.Authenticate code using that username and
password.
Some of our clients have encoded this information via a
time expiring certificate or token to add extra security to
the process.
As an alternative you can obtain the HTML of the current
page using the HttpResponse.Filter property or by overriding
the Render method of the page. You can then present this HTML
to ABCpdf using AddImageHtml. If your HTML references
resources using relative references you may wish to insert a
<BASE> tag into the HTML before presentation to ABCpdf.
Of course any resources you reference would need to be
available outside your Authentication
scheme.
