Well for the application they don't have requirements on making sequirty work, it doesn't even really support it. The whole application is based on NT permissions, so when you use everyone it just works normal, so if we wanted security I had to make the permissions based on our NT users and groups and then made a popup for basic authentication so that users would be able to log on. Recently we moved that website to a different url in preperation for a new website launch that no longer uses NT users and groups and goes off of a datbase for authentication. The problem with this now is that a user will be prompted to use our documentation application that still has to use basic authentication. To get by this I was putting the username and password in the url string and then everything just worked. Now my requirements are to find someway, anyway to get Internet Explorer to cache those passwords. I don't care if I encode the username and password in clear text inside a webpage, just anyway that I can get
the browser to cache it so a user can't see it. hope that explains it for you. The product by the way is Ehelp which was recently aquired by Macromedia.
