1. Get the Logged in User Entity by using HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name on page load of Asp.net Application on which silverlight zap resides.
2. User LDAP connection to validate the username.
then shows the authentication msg as per respone success or failure.

Your best method is to have a WCF service provide authentication services to AD, and return a "credential" object back to your SL app based on login credentials. Course, you could use that same service for your ASP apps, WPF apps, etc.
