You can do this two ways: 1) Use IIS to manage the security. Just make sure your site goes over ssl so usernames and password aren't going in plain text, or
2) If you want a proper sign on page for username and password, install advanced security into your cf server installation. Then in cf admin, enable advanced security. You can then use an NT4 domain as a directory as well afaik. I did this in 4.5 successfully, but cf5 now uses siteminder. >From there, you can use the cfauthenticate tag to validate usernames and passwords. In solution 2, you would ask for a username and password in a logon form in your cf site, whether they are inside the network or outside the network. -----Original Message----- From: Sean McCarthy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 8:36 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Single Sign On I need to get the win nt network user name to do authorization for an intranet. The only options I found in my search are: -the persistent cookie (which will still require one login) -custom configuration of a browser to auto login (not if sure if this will make the user name available?) -A certificate server to issue client certificates (user name available?) -A .dll or class(es) to do this? If this is the case, can you please recommend some good choices. Info: NT 4 domain / iis 5 / cf 5 Thanks for your help sean ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
