[Zope] NTLM authentication

[Matt Hamilton]

Dear All,

  We are working with an organisation that wish to use NTLM HTTP 
authenication with Zope.  They currently use MSIE and IIS and are able 
to use the original login credentials supplied when the use logged in to 
their workstation.  So far we have identified two possible routes, both 
involve using Zope in REMOTE_USER mode (something in front of Zope does 
then authentication, Zope then does the authorisation based on the 
REMOTE_USER variable):

1) Use Zope with/behind IIS and use IIS to do the authentication
2) Use Apache in front of Zope and mod_ntlm to do authentication

Has anyone else tried this any experiences to report?  We have not 
finalised the server platform yet, so are open to both Windows and unix 
based solutions, however all being equal we would prefer unix as we may 
be using certain external libraries (PIL, gd, gs, etc.).

-Matt
