P.S.: "Application authentication" would be something which does not use any facilities provided by Microsoft Windows. If you use NTLM, "Integrated Windows Authentication", etc., you're using a Windows facility. If you use Active Directory as the backend authentication database, that's using a Windows facility. If you write your own HTML password form and server-side script (e.g., ASP), and keep a table of users in a MySQL database, you're not using a Windows facility. That would be what "application authentication" usually refers to. This is mostly academic, as Microsoft's license agreement does not make a distinction between the two types. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
