We have several computers in our organization that share users. While we use a general account for logging into these computers, I need to give these certain people access to different areas of the program based on their windows authentication.
Currently we use a table that holds their username and password, but that is both not secure and a inelegant. Whenever the user's password changes we have to get their information from IT, which of course they don't want to share...how can I add a form to my program that will authenticate against a windows domain. I will may still need to use a table for access rules until I can figure out Role based access.
any help is greatly appreciated.
I already have found information on environment.username. But that only returns the current logged in user, which doesn't help for elevated access.

I thought the same so I've fired off an Amazon order. It's <£10 here in the
UK.
Rob.
I didn't realize the US Dollar was that weak against the British Pound.
Amazon is listing the book for $30 in the US.

Makes a nice change though - it's usually the other way around :-)
>I didn't realize the US Dollar was that weak against the British Pound. Amazon is listing the book for $30 in the US.
That is a surprising difference. Must be some other reason - the pound isn't
*that* strong but it is just £8.04 on www.amazon.co.uk
Rob.
According to the currency converter at www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi, 8.04 GBP
= 15.42 USD.
What's also interesting, is that Amazon UK shows the list price of the book
to be £11.49 ($22.45) and is selling the book at a 30% discount. In
addition to having a higher list price ($30) Amazon US is not discounting
the book at all.
Yet another example of the American consumer being screwed by big business?
:-)

Come and live on "Treasure Island" to know what it's like to be screwed by
