We do that all day, everyday. How far do you want to take it? The short answer is to set directory security in IIS for the website or some portion of it to "windows integrated security" and disable "allow anonymous access". The last part is important. Then access cgi.auth_user in your cf code, it will contain the username of the user who logged in on the client system.
This assumes a windows server running IIS web server software, a client running some flavor of relatively modern MS OS software and an MS IE browser or something the understands it, if you don't want a username and password challenge when users access the secured site or section of the site. If you want to know how much father one can take this by accessing java NT and/or LDAP functionality let me know and I can tell you more tomorrow. My day is done here. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code. C code run. Run code run.
