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 you would need to write a user folder to do that.
I don't think this is the only way of accomplishing this (though it might be the easiest). I think you could write (in VC++) an IIS "filter" which would (in a similar fashion to the Netscape Enterprise Server plugin) 'hijack' the request and stuff the REMOTE_USER into it. --Rob
