have them log in once and then set a cookie so they don't have to log on again?
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8/10/2003 10:32:28 am >>> I have a question for all the great minds that congregate here: I have an app that is distributed to 30 or 40 sites where it runs on their on local hardware that they maintain and configure themselves. Our app requires that users logon with a username and password. I've had the 'quite reasonable' request that our app should get the users login name from their PC and use that instead, thus saving the user the unbearable pain of logging in. The catches: We have no control over any of these environments. Any browser could be being used. (IE, netscape, mozilla, opera, ...) Any operating system could be being used by the user. (Windows, mac, linux) Any server technology could be being used by the site. (linux, windows, novell) Any authentication server could be being used by the site. (active dir, ldap, ndis) Is this just a pipe dream, or can someone tell me where to download the CF_MIRACLE tag from somewhere? Is there even some option that will do just 90% of cases?
