- authentication: the customer has integrated Win32 authentication

  and wouldn't like to enter the user accounts twice. Does a
  webware app fit in such an environment?


Sorry, I don't have any experience with that, but some Googling may help. If you can use IIS to authenticate URL's, you won't have to mess with it in python at all.

Under IIS 4.0 (I think) I used automagic NTLM authentication to talk to cgi scripts. Setup IIS to protect the directory that contains the wk adapter w/ NTLM security and the username will be a variable in the envrionment (server dictionary) Just make sure you run a check that the client is authenticated via NTLM first.

I used the wkcgi.exe in production, and with the number of users you have I don;t think the adapter will impact performance much.

I would not recommend trying to implement NTLM in your app code. Now that Mozilla supports it I'm sure MS will be changing the spec soon to break compatability.....
