This is interesting, but we want to take advantage of server features
like CGI that don't seem to work well with file:? We also want this to
work between our Netscape server and MS server, and think our model will
work. I think we view this as an interim solution until we can get to
some type of public key/LDAP solution that will allow cross server
authentication passing (if this ever works?). Our hope is that this
will play with DCE in some way, but can't seem to find enough
information on this to hang our hat on it...Mic
