I was wondering: How can i determine which authentication method is in use?
For example I want to execute a code if my Authentication is based on FORMS authentication and not if it's WINDOWS Authentication.

You can check what's on the web config using configuration manager
ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.web/authentication");
You can retrieve a string property called AuthenticationType
on your user's identity object: User.Identity.AuthenticationType
.
More documentation here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.principal.iidentity.authenticationtype(v=vs.110).aspx
You need to have both the Windows Authentication and Forms Authentication both. For this you need to configure your IIS. Though it is very difficult to implement. http://mvolo.com/iis-70-twolevel-authentication-with-forms-authentication-and-windows-authentication/ Check the above blog and the below discussion:- MVC3 mixed forms and Windows authentication Hope this would help ypu anyway. :)
