Deanna, I don't think what you're asking for is possible. With auth_user, you are using NT authentication. IIS has that built in. Apache, does not.
Your easiest bet is to switch back to IIS. FWIW, if you were to have your authentication information available via LDAP, you could modify your code and Apache installation to use it. http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/httpd-ldap/ Deanna Schneider wrote: >Hi Folks, >We were running NT, and yesterday switched to Apache.
