Dave,
If you are running the enterprise version of CF Server, then you may be able
to use the advanced security features to do what you want.
It has some limitations though, it doesn't really pass the authentication on
to the web server, it authenticates you using the advanced security services
instead. Which means that if your site isn't 100% .cfm's that not
everything will be secure.
Basically, you would create a security context for your application,
protecting the directories that your application is in. For your user
directory, you would just use your NT domain(s).
Then you can pass those form variables to a script that uses the
cfauthenticate tag to authenticate the user using their NT account and
password.
I have it setup, it works pretty well, I've seen performance problems though
when using the local server domain as the user directory. Works fine on our
10,000+ user domain.

Subject: Authenticating on NT System
Importance: High
Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to authenticate a user on an NT
system WITHOUT making the pop-up authentication window appear.
I already have a login page for my users and want to retain that. Then,
when they login, I want to automatically authenticate them on the server.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
