Using NT authentication in ASP

Anon

i am trying to use, windows NT authentication. This is an intranet solution and we have lot of users. I have to get the
username
password
domain name

and then proceed to show the ASP Pages, if the above does not match, the page should not be displayed. As this is very urgent, please reply me immediately,
is that possible without using dlls and classes

Thanks

Wrong forum, but if you want to use ACL (NT authentication):

I assume you are using IIS. If so, go to the MMC, right click the directory you want to restrict, and go to the tab for security (may be authentication). You need to enable NT authentication and disable anonymous authentication. (A little rusty at this and my machine with this on it is at work, but I'm sure this is pretty much it.) Be aware that anyone needing to get into this directory must have an account on the machine (under User Manager) and this may not work for all clients using Win95/98. This is NOT authentication using a database of usernames and passwords that you can create locally, it uses the SID on the NT server that the website resides on, or, if the server is part of a domain, the SID from the PDC and the SID for the local machine for local accounts.

Now back to PHP!!!

Thanks for the effort you take to reply me.

Here I tried to use the NT Authentication for my Directory.
Here we have a netwok of more than 1000 users and each one having a different network Username and Password. If I use NT Authentication, I am just using the NT account user name and password which is stored in the web Server.
I would like to get my directory to be used all the users in the network using their already existing Usename and Password.
Some say that i will have to use NT Challeng/Response system for this, So if you would further clarify this briefly, I would be grateful to you,

Again, seriously off topic for a PHP site/forum but...

Once you've turned Anonymous off and turned NT Auth on in the MMC, then go to the directory in question, open its Properties->Security->Permissions, remove "Everyone" (=Anonymous User) and add the individuals, or better, NT groups, who should have access to the file/directory.

This is scaleable as long as the matrix of content vs. users is either sparse or clustered. Beyond that you'll want to go to an app servers, but it sounds like that isn't a problem, yet.

Another cute trick: index server will obey these permissions also - when you do a query you only get back hits that you have permission for. Hate to say anything nice about MS since they rarely deserve it but this feature is cool.

Yet another cute trick: use an ASP with NT Auth activated (directory or file) to create simple personalized content on the cheap via a DB call keyed by the NT login. You need an accurate DB of nt accounts.

Downside on all of this: you must use IE as browser. NS, et al., won't work.
