Forms authentication for an IIS 7.5 site

Question

I need to protect an IIS site using forms authentication. I need the login page to query the active directory users, but I haven't been able to find much information on this.

I just need a simple login form that users in the company can login to using their AD credentials.

Any guidance?

Check this KnowledgeBase article from Microsoft, explaining in detail how you can use ASP.NET with VB.NET to authenticate against Active Directory with a forms based page:
