???? Basic authentication uses 'base64' encoding of "username:password". NTLM authentication uses 'base64' encoding of binary Microsoft NTLMSSP challenge/response messages. In both cases the user login+password (or equivalent) must be known to the client browser. You can not have the browser send the login without the browser knowing the user logged in. Regards Henrik
