If you are using NDS for NT, IIS, and IE, then you could do this using NTLM
authentication on the IIS Server. If not, then you are kind of out of luck because
browser security does not tie into the underlying OS.
There are many ways to use your Novell username and password for web security, but
NTLM is the only way to automatically and natively feed it to the web server.

I have wanted to do this for quite some time. Either I am to dumb or it can't be
done(I got bets on the first one). There would need to be a host file(or any file)
with the login on the users pc then have the browser know to go and look.
Unless you attached something to their IP or hostname.......(sorry thinking out
loud)...Good luck to ya.

Hi,
I haven't actually seen anyone do it with CF yet, but Novell has a single sign-on
technology and SDK. We are looking at it but haven't gotten to that yet.
You can find out more about the SSO solution at:
http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/sso2/index.html?admin/data/a6b03lc.html
The SDK is free and can be downloaded at http://developer.novell.com/ndk/ .. They have
libaries in C and Java.
They also have a new appliance called i-Chain which is probably overkill for what you
are looking for but it is a nice architecture for SSO authentication.

Hello,
Has anyone had any experience passing a Novell login name to CF5? Our
company Intranet is requiring that the process be a seemless login. Meaning
that once the user logs in on the Novell side, that the username is passed
to CF so I can authenticate and authorize that user based on a policy.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Christian
