Are you looking it for ASP.NET MVC 4 application? If so, this article explains lot of customizations you could do: https://codeutil.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/forms-authentication-in-asp-net-mvc-4/

If it's web forms, probably I would assume these asp.net 2.0 articles could still work.

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/667125/Forms-Authentication 

Just as a side note:

For later versions (MVC 5):

ok so - probably this might help - this article has concise explanation of using AD and forms authentication in MVC here: https://www.ricardodsanchez.com/how-to-secure-your-asp-net-mvc-application-and-use-active-directory-as-the-membership-provider/

I don't think I understand your recent question. If you want to use your AD server - yes in the article provided, there is a connection string with name as "ADConnectionString" - change it's value with the appropriate value.
