We have a customer with a Windows setup (Active Directory, IIS, Windows
work stations etc). What we want to do now is to use another web server
(we sold a non MS application to them) and somehow accomplish the same
functionality that IIS seems to provide with regards to that when the
users are logged on to their work stations they don't need to log into
the intranet web application (IIS just seems to know somehow who it is).
How can we accomplish this ourselves? I know that I probably can speak
LDAP to AD to get user information but how do IIS know who the user is
without logging the user in to the web application? Is the browser
sending user information? Is it (IIS) using IP addresses somehow to see
who it is? I'm clueless (and haven't found a good enough google search
phrase :( )...
Ideas? (I think this one falls into Ken Schaefers area of expertise ;)
