This question has been asked several times already, and the answer is always the same:
Q: How to to interface Zope with IIS A: turn off challenge/response authentication and turn on basic authentication for Zope to handle authentication
*BUT* I want IIS to handle authentication, and give Zope the user's name through REMOTE_USER. It seems not to be possible. Has anyone managed to do that?
I think this might be IIS' fault. Use <dtml-var REMOTE_USER> to see if it gets stuffed into the REQUEST by IIS.

REMOTE_USER is not stuffed in. That's why I ask :-) If only I knew how do challenge/response authentication work. the cgi-bin (pcgi-wrapper for instance) seems not to be called at all during the authentication process. Any other ideas? -- Jephte minf7@educ.univ-reunion.fr
