If the web server was on the same domain as your client machines you could
enable NTLM authentication.  As long as you were using IE on the clients
they would log on automatically with their domain credentials.

This functionality is not built in to IIS natively.

I am sure what you want to do is possible if you felt like writing an ISAPI
application for IIS to use, or a third party product.  But it isn't built
in...

You might be able to embed the username and password into the link (like
this: http://<username>:<Password>@www.yahoo.com), but it would not be
secure, as all the person would have to do is look at the code to get the
password.

HTH!

This may be slightly off topic, so I apologize in advance...

I have a web directory on a non-AD Windows 200 webserver.  This =
directory is below the web root.  It contains temporary files (Adobe =
form files (.fdf)).  I would like to put an acl on this directory and =
direct users to a file in this directory with the authentication =
happening without the user knowing, credentials included in code.  (I =
want the page that directs them to these temp files to be the only way =
to get there, so a malicious user can't read the temp files).  SO my =
question is if a directory or file is password protected is there any =
way (some kind of object) to automate the logon process... i.e. not have =
the username/password dialog box pop-up.  I would appreciate any help... =
 I hope I explained this thoroughly.  And the reason why I want to do =
has to do with the way Adobe forms work.
