Is it possible to create a login form and check the username and password against the Windows user accounts? I'm not sure if I said that right.

No, that would go under security infringement. You could gain access the the user's machine that way.dallasx wrote:Is it possible to create a login form and check the username and password against the Windows user accounts? I'm not sure if I said that right.
I mean for protecting parts of my site. Instead of having a database full of employee login information and the Windows user directory, couldn't I check for a valid account against the Windows server?foobar wrote:No, that would go under security infringement.

I haven't looked deeply into it but the only thing I can see is that when you entered a page, a prompt would pop up. Any way around that?Jenk wrote:LDAP could be of assistance.
