These two articles are the best for getting up to speed.

Yes.

You can either put the users in the WEBCONFIG file, or validate them by
putting Accounts/Passwords in a back-end database. If you do so, it is, of
course, best practice to encryp the passwords before you store them and
before you query using them.

Record not found --> don't set authentication context.

Below is a nice write-up.
