All of our servers are Windows based, I'm simply using Apache and Jakarta/Tomcat instead of IIS.
The only thing I want authentication for is users home directories. However the user server is not the same one running apache, so I need to get it to cross over the network to pull data from the users space (\\users\users.home etc) and JSP/php/cgi and apache don't like that, it returns an error stating the the directory/file can't be found and the log file points to the local disk ( f:\users\users.home) instead of the network path. The authentication comes in when accessing specific folders for people such as HR and Finance where only those groups should have access to them, and not the world.
