That has everything to do with the way your web server is set up. I'm assuming you're using IIS because that's the only way you can do that (afaik). It also only working with IE from what I've heard. You need to go into IIS and turn off anonymous authentication and turn on Integrated Windows Authentication. Then, as long as the server is part of the domain that the users are logged into, it should query the AD based on their user information and "log them in automatically" which basically consists of setting some CGI variables that you can use to see what domain and username they're logged in as. The rest would be up to your application. Again, the 3 big things are: 1. Server joined to the same domain (or Forest or whatever) as the users 2. Windows Server with IIS 3. IE for the clients

What he wants is for the user to authenticate against their AD transparently, with no input from the user. Can this even be done with CF. All of the AD examples I've seen require usernames and passwords inputted from the user. Where can I pull the Windows domain logon and password? Thanks sas Scott A.
