Becky,
Dave gave you the route for OWA 5.5. If you are using the OWA from
Exchange 2000 you just need to make the changes to the IE security
settings, because of architecture changes in the application the logon
form stuff has gone away. And the same is still true of needing IE.

You can do this, if your users are using IE. They'll need to configure
IE to
pass their network credentials to the remote server when they access
that
particular server. Typically, this means adding the URL to the
"Intranet" or
"Trusted Sites"
zone, and ensuring that the option to send network credentials is
checked.
You'll also need to use NTLM Authentication on the web server.
Then, you'll have to change some ASP code slightly. There are two pages
in
the \WEBDATA\USA directory, logon.asp and logonfrm.asp. The first one is
the
form in which the username is entered. The second one is the action page
for
the first, and it takes the username and authenticates with that name.
You'll need to add some logic here to read the CGI variable containing
the
username, if it exists, and if it does, have it use that automatically.
Your
best bet to have it work both with and without the variable is to add
some
logic to each page. In logon.asp, if the CGI username variable exists,
just
redirect to logonfrm.asp. In logonfrm.asp, if the CGI username variable
exists, use it instead of the form variable.
If I recall correctly, the CGI variable you'll be interested in is
Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER").
