I am wanting my Vb.net application to "know who is logged on" similar to the way SharePoint does. When I start SharePoint 2013, I'm not asked for a username or password, it just "knows" who I am because I've already authenticated through Windows.

Is there a tutorial somewhere that can demonstrate how this is done? All of the users of this application are inside the same Active Directory on a corporate network.

    Hello Scott, welcome to Stack Overflow. Unfortunately your question is a bit too broad to be useful in this format, but you can try looking at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/323176 for information on implenting Windows Authentication in your ASP.NET application. – mclark1129 Jun 09 '15 at 17:24

Take a look at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff650308.aspx, a "How to" implement Forms Authentication with Membership and Active Directory.

This technology is a bit old, but still usable.

A better approach would be to use the new OWIN Identity if you have Azure Active Directory
