Website based on ASP.NET IIS Authentication

Question

I am building a website based on ASP.NET IIS. There is a configuration file called web.config. I can configure the authentication there. The option is "forms ; Windows ; None ". My question is after set these configuration options, how can user log into this website. Where will the users enter username and password?

Firstly go here and do your homework:

ASP.NET Authentication

But...

If you use Windows auth then the browser will prompt for credentials - which need to be defined on the server.

If you use forms auth then you need to have a form (!) into which you enter your credentials which you then validate and, post validation, setup an auth cookie.

This is a certain amount of work... so Microsoft offer tools, in the box, to do most of this for you...
