I guess I should be clearer about where I am going with this and to where I have come. First of all I have written a fair amount of code based on Apache/mysql/Perl and I have used cookies and hidden variables etc...
My experience in the world of htaccess has been that if there is such a file and the apache conf file is set to recognize it, the user gets a pop-up for user/password combination. I have the notion (please correct me if wrong) that on IIs the same thing happens but the pop-up checks against the magic secrete windows stash of users/passwords. So am I correct in thinking that if a user uses his logon/password to get onto the windows network, that he would have to enter this again if he logs on to a IIs web page that is protected via the IIs user/password scenario? I have begun to code the apache http.conf file with PerLDAP so as to plug into Active Directory and what I mention above I am experiencing. I hope I have explained myself and again, thank you for all of your comments. They have been very helpful to my understanding of this process. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Bergeron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 1:04 PM To: Norris, Joseph; Perl Web (E-mail); Perl Admin (E-mail); Perl Win32 Users (E-mail) Subject: Re: Question about IIs This is really more of an ASP question I guess. You can track the user through IIS with the Session Object. Of course there are many, many ways of doing the same with IIS and Perl. Session information is one of the easier elements to track within an application. Go and check out Oreilly's site and go to the Perl section. Download the examples for CGI Programming with Perl 2nd edition. There is an application in there that uses session data and a unique key to track a user within a shopping cart.
