Debbie,
I've had luck setting up a User Directory under the Advanced Security
Options and making it point to a specified the Windows NT domain.
Do the following:
(1) Create a User Directory, specifying which NT Domain you want to use.
(2) Create Security Context
(3) Add User Directory to the Security Context
(4) Create Policy
(5) Add Users to policy
Then using Cold Fusion, utilize the <CFAUTHENTICATE> tag:
<CFAUTHENTICATE
SETCOOKIE="yes/no"
SECURITYCONTEXT="NameofSecurityContext"
USERNAME="UserName"
PASSWORD="Password">
Then call the IsAuthenticted() function to check if it succeeded or not.
This is a high level implementation. If you need, reference the Allaire
Docs, but to me, they are high level implementation as well. So, good luck
:)
Hope this helps.

Subject: Authenticating a user using NT Authentication
Hi Again,
Is there anyway to automatically authenticate a user (giving them access to
a CF application without having to login) using NT Authentication?
TIA,
Debbie
