they aparrently used to do this by having a url with the

Firstly this is unsafe and secndly - microsoft (in a rare moment where
their interests align with ours) has turned this feature off in IE (to
stop address-bar spoofing).
I need some sort of alternative method of doing this, however all the
'help" files on this issue seem to just say: let the users get the
prompt and login...
the problem with this being that the user does not have the login
details and will not be given them
Do you have a Kerberos server (KDC)? Their web client (IE/FF) could send
a kerberos ticket for authentication, and get access in a secure
fashion without prompting them for anything.
