That's just it --I don't know. :)  I'm new to this type of authentication.

I'm learning though. :)

I don't want to use .htaccess and be prompting my users --but this might be
my ignorance in how to make this work.  When I've used this with IIS, the
auth_user variable was populated with the windows username --something that
isn't the case with Apache.  Many other CGI variables work --and that page
you sent is one I did get a chance to see before and those ones seem to
work. 


You do realize that the cgi.auth_user was only populated automatically
(without user interaction) when using the "windows integrated security"
setting.  This is a MS proprietary security model officially designed to
work on MS servers talking to MS clients using MS browsers.  

I can't help you on whether there are resources that allow this to work in
non-Microsoft environments.
