Can anybody explain how this works? It is very confusing with cookies and all. I have:

- basic auth on an IIS virtual dir
- basic auth domain = DOMAINX
- Snitz Authentication type = NT

I want:
- Netscape users to get right into the BBS as their NT ids. No Snitz DB IDs and no domain name required.

It seems like the .asp doesn't pick up the basic auth domain set in IIS. You have to enter DOMAINX/username. I don't want users to have to do that. Just hardcoding DOMAINX into inc_functions.asp as shown doesn't seem to do the trick.

sub NTAuthenticate()
dim strUser, strNTUser, checkNT
strNTUser = ("DOMAINX/"+Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER"))
strNTUser = replace(strNTUser, "\", "/")

I'm not so sure you can do this. I could be wrong, and I'd like someone to prove me wrong, but I think IE has built-in functionality to "talk" to an NT domain. Then again, that's only with NT Challenge/Response, not basic authentication.

I believe what you want to do wouldn't work in either browser, actually. You'd need to somehow grab the clear-text username and password from the browser, then check that against the domain user's NT credentials. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
