I have an Apache web server running on zLinux RHEL 5.5, and MS Windows users who log into a domain before they can even get the browser. Once there however, I'd like to pick up their domain user id without having to explicitly prompt for it. (i.e. avoid some sort of log in page)
I realize the security is not terribly strong, it's more of a conveneince thing... security has already been taken care of at this point. It looks like I could implement the four-way NTLM at the application level (provide a PHP class to do the heavy lifting) but I was looking for something I could configure in Apache, like a directory statement in httpd.conf that says something like "access to this directory requires an ntlm-authenticated user, and then Apache/php would make the userid available via the $_SERVER super-global... or something similar. Is there a (convenient) way to do this? Or other suggestions?
