Answer 1

LightSwtich does not support the authentication scenario you mentioned. Please go through the following threads that may help:

Answer 2

While LS might not directly "support" this type of authentication, I don't see why you can't use whatever method you choose to authenticate, it just means LS won't do anything with it, you'd have to do all the "work" yourself. Storing the result, checking if a user IS authenticated at any particular point etc.

Maybe a custom User principle would be of use here?

i see, i can customer the membership provider to call the wcf service(my platform to configurate the user, role, permissions, and so on) when user login.
