Hi All,

We have a web site (virtual directory) with authentication set to
"integrated windows authentication".
This web site call a cgi (.exe).
The directory (since the cgi is part of the site directory) is secured
correctly - (well I hope).
The CGI is correctly defined in the Web service extensions.

Everything is working correctly when working from the network that means
that IE don't request a user name and password and authenticate the user
correctly (which means for me that IE send the correct user).

If we try to work on the server directly on the console, the logon dialog is
displayed when the cgi is called (but not with the normal html pages). If we
reintroduce the same user account as the one currently logged in, every
thing is fine till IE is closed. This behavior is constant whatever account
we used, even with the local administrator account. The security log don't
show any error.

The first question is how to make working the integrated authentication when
working on the console ?

Now if we connect with an XP desktop with a remote desktop connection, and
we start browsing then we get a 500 error when trying to use the CGI. Any
idea are welcome.

Thanks for your time.
