I don't know enough about JRun to say whether there's any way to easily have a common repository of usernames and passwords between your IIS application (Crystal Reports) and your JRun application. However, you can manage NT users from the command line - there are plenty of free/cheap tools for that. The resource kits for Windows provide tools like addusers.exe, which can import users from a text file. In addition, you can build your own command-line tools, if you want to do something a little different, using Windows Script Host against the ADSI interfaces. Also, I think there may be third-party products for IIS which will allow IIS to perform authentication against other user repositories besides the Windows account manager.
