Login authentication...
Does anyone have any experience in setting up login info to be consistent w/ name / pw for like network settings. I want to be able to have user login be the same as their network login on their machines, etc. This way I wouldnt have to keep a DB of pw's or anything just connect using their authentication. I know I can get their login name using getauthuser but is there also a way using coldfusion to have them put in their PW to login instead of creating one?

Jack

Unfortunately not. If the user's password was sent with each HTTP request that would be a gigantic security hole. You can make the log in and password check against the Windows NT Domain, Active Directory server, or LDAP server so that they will be the same as their network login and password, but they will still have to type it in to log into your web application.

Ok so my best bet would be to use the CFLDAP tag I take it?

If you are authenticating against an LDAP directory or a MS Active Directory, then yes you'll use CFLDAP. I belive that CFMX 7 will have built-in tags to do authentication against NT and Active Directory domains.
