Hmm, that's not automation in this sense. The user logins into the workstation (Windows, don't know about unix), the user opens the browser and accesses an INTRANET page. The browser (IE or Firefox with NTLM setup) will then send authentication information to the Intranet server using the NTLM protocol. The web server (Apache with NTLM module) checks with some internal Domain server and sets the environmental variable REMOTE_USER. This is then sent to a CGI or FastCGI app (zope with FastCGI). > Maybe someone will correct this. If so everyone's happy. Yes, local Intranet users love this, one less login, automatic recognition, personalisation, instant gratification,... ;-) Cheers, Fernando _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
