Hi, Did anybody already write an MMBase authentication implementation which uses the WinNT user information?
I know that the VPRO uses the webmail functionality of Exchange to this end. As far as i understand it is that (1) they put an authentication-page on their webmail server and use WinNT to give a certain group of NT users access rights on this page, then (2) if an NT user requests a secured MMBase page first the MMBase page checks if this user is allowed to view the authentication-page if so he is logged on to MMBase, if not access to MMBase is denied. It seems to me that a more direct link between MMBase authentication and NT user info should be possible (or is Windows really that closed ? ) Thanks in advance for any info on this point. Regards, Henk P.s. What is not clear to me is how the VPRO implementation is able to check from the client-browser whether a user is able to view an authentication page. Hope to find out soon ...
