Creating an equivalent HTML web application to an existing LightSwitch application

I have a LightSwitch customer-order management application. The customers can login and only view their orders. I'm trying to create a similar web app but not sure what route to take - ASP.net...etc. since not all my clients have Silverlight installed. If I did this in ASP.NET with Visual Web Developer, how would I go about the authentication based on the customer record in the db? It wasn't as big of a deal in Light开发者_开发问答Switch.

There is an article on Codeproject about sharing the authentication between a .NET app and LightSwitch. Basically it comes down to 2 things in the web.config; MachineKey, and Forms Cookie. These have to be the same in all web.config files, and it automatically works.

Also, Team Foundation Server has a web front end, and it exactly represents what is in the application.... Team Foundation Server uses the exact same way of describing the UI as LightSwitch ... so you might find something there.
