I am fine with it requiring IE to work --this is an Intranet application on a closed system.
The idea isthat yes, users just open the browser, their homepage is set to be my Intranet (we use Citrix, making this part easy as pie) and voila --they are in! I specify their additional permissions via the active directory and we're good to go. The problem is that Apache doesn't support NTLM like IIS, and so CGI variables just aren't cutting it --they are always coming up blank. I -know- that Squid uses a module (internal to squid) to make the proxy server listen to NTLM authentication... so I -KNOW- it can be done. The question is... how?! I'm going nuts! :) >It's been a while since I used this sort of authentication, but doesn't >it require IE for it to work? > >I don't remember if non-IE browsers will support this process? > >As far as the feasibility of an "auto-login" as you speak, what if you >want to open a browser, with your credentials, but at another person's >computer? > >Your goal would require that user to close all apps, log off then let >you log on. > >Personally, I like the ability to open a browser, anywhere on campus, >regardless of who is logged-in on the console, and then log in as >myself. > >If I wanted someone to test a page on my computer, I'd be damned if I >would close all of my applications and log out just so they could log >on. > >It is possible that your environment allows for this, but ours doesn't, >so we just have the users log in each time they open their browser. >Nobody, important, has complained yet. ;^) > >M!ke > >-----Original Message----- >From: Jillian Koskie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Monday, November 28, 2005 8:45 AM >To: CF-Talk >Subject: Blank CGI Variables > >Has anybody successfully used NTLM authentication on a Linux box with >Apache?
