If I can use forms, that would be great, but I haven't played with them. I
didn't think that they would work with the basic authentication or pass
through authentication (http://usrname:pwd@www.mysite.com/).

Our website has all of the users in an nt group, in which we currently use
basic auth for validation. Our site is mainly transparent for our users
since they are being passed directly to us from their own companies site,
but without them having to see a login for our site. If you have some
sample code, or any other info, that would be great.

Thanks,
Barry
