[cfaussie] Re: Intranet Authentication Via Username

[Pat Branley]

Just a Note about using NTLM Authentication in IIS:   If you site uses a Proxy server, then then you cant use NTLM. There is an MS Knowledge Base article about it somewhere around, I cant seem to find it atm.   Pat   "Taco Fleur" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi,   I am currently working on a government Intranet project, I am looking to authenticate users with the username they are currently logged in with to their machine.   It was suggested to use NBSTAT to retrieve the required info, i.e. username etc. I thought this would not be a fault proof and secure way of doing it, spoke with some security guys over there which confirmed that it might not always work as the users are located over multiple domains etc.   Has anyone ever implemented a similar system where you retrieve the username of the user currently logged in at the machine accessing the intranet, and authenticated this to a SQL db with customized permission for the Intranet app.?   They are using Active Directory, so I believe I can use CFLDAP, however not really sure how well it works with CF 4.5 and I believe it would mean they would still have to enter their username and password which is exactly what they do not want to do. The app needs to retrieve the username details automatically..   At the moment I have the permissions part of the app sussed out, just need a error proof way of getting the user details.   Anyone??   TIA Taco Fleur --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/
