Does anyone know if it is possible to write an application so that if
a user enters their NT username and password the application's
security context can be changed to run under their account.

In the same way that you can set up COM+ or Task Scheduler to run
under a different account by entering in the username and password of
that account.

Any help would be appreciated.
