You can create an application set using the 8.0 client which will ask the
user for domain credentials. However, if you don't configure the properties
of the application set to pass through the local credentials when retrieving
the list of apps for the user, you can't pass through the credentials when
launching an application. As I see it, you have 2 options:
1. Require the user to logon to the kiosk machine with domain credentials.
Put a shortcut on the desktop to the application set and have that
application set configured to pass through the local credentials. The user
will then launch apps from Program Neighborhood.
2. Use Web Interface. Have a kiosk machine configured to give the user IE
only, and have IE point to the WI site. User enters domain credentials and
is presented a list of apps. User can then launch those apps using
pass-through authentication.
Option 2 is your best bet. Why is your customer anti-WI?
