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
