I see.  Just to be clear, there was nothing in my note related to
Microsoft authentication.  I was talking about doing all of the
functions from BASIC, and that includes any *nix-only platform.
I have implemented this sort of authentication with different
kinds of web interfaces and on various MV platforms, and I'd hope
that U2 web services would allow you to execute common BASIC
code.

My only experience with U2 web services comes from two sources:
1) A client who tried hard but had to give up on U2 web services
because it simply couldn't do what was required.  We solved the
problem with another product.
2) Someone else's client who also gave up:

So far I'm not impressed with what I'm hearing about this
interface.

Good luck.
