What browsers are your users using?
I did see a post a while back on getting the current logged in user with I.E
it doesn't keep password information though
Confirm browser type before I spend time looking for it

Subject: OT: Help with cgi.auth_user
This is an off topic post so please delete if you're not interested.
I am currently trying to centralize the way in which all the employees of my
company login to the web apps we make. Up to now, we have simply used a db
for each internal project and asked the users to remember the login info. I
think this is some what counter productive and want to come up with the best
way to steamline the Authentication process we all have to go through to use
the tools we make. Ideally what I was hoping was to simply grab their NT
username and password and use these values to assign access to our various
applications. Upon reading the documentation of the Webserver (O'Rielley's)
it seems to me that the only way the browser carries that information, is IF
the webserver restricts access to a URL. This doesn't seem to be what I'm
looking for as it still forces the user to enter their username and password
in AGAIN, (which is what I want to avoid). So if their is a way to grab
this information with CF without prompting the user I would like to know.
If that is not possible then it seems the best alternative is to create one
db for all applications to authenticate against? If there are any articles
or previous posts please let me know as I'm sure this is not a new issue for
most in house developers.
many thanks in advance,
Emilio
