As far as I know, I can only get at CGI.AUTH_USER if we use basic authentication. If we use basic authentication, the user will be asked for a username and password when the home page of the intranet is requested. What the client wants is no login at all. We somehow have to pick up the user's NT login credentials without the user knowing about it, then pass that information to the server.
