Re: [Zope] NT Authenticated Users

I'm looking at porting a DelphiCGI/IIS application over to Zope, however, the current application uses IIS in non-anonymous mode, which supplies the HTTP request with a LOGON_USER paramater, which contains the NTDOMAIN/USER of the user requesting the page.

Is there anyway to do this under Zope/Python (or even Apache), one of the requirements of the application is that I can handle this automatic authentication of NT users. Zope is able to get authentication information from the "REMOTE_USER" request member.

You may use a SiteAccess AccessRule in your root folder to copy "LOGON_USER" into "REMOTE_USER". There is a HowTo on Zope.org about SiteAccess use for such purposes. Dieter
