    Default Forms auth w/AD, web server not a member of domain

    I want to use Forms Authentication and authenticate user credentials
    against active directory. Using advapi32.dll and LogonUser I am able to
    do just that as long as the machine IIS is running on is a member of
    the domain.

    But what if the web server is not a domain member? Can I still use the
    forms authentication/active directory solution?

    It appears that I cannot.

    I suspect this is one of those obvious "best-practice violating no-nos"
    that I'm too ignorant to see for what it is. But I'm still hopeful.

    Thanks in advance for the help!
