Automatic Login using Windows Authentication

[Mirek]

I am trying to get an automatic login working for our users, I wrote a little program to import all of our users into the helpdesk database with correct logins and e-mails etc... and want to automatically log users in when they hit the page.

I do not know much about php but am able to easily pull the user's username. Can someone tell me a little bit how the authentication works in SupportSuite. I do not need to access passwords as once a user is authenticated on the server it is good enough (can't access without logging in).

So in other words my question is: how can I intercept the authentication process and send in a username and automatically log that user in.

any help would be appreciated,
Mirek

This is exactly what we want as well. We have users logging into our domain and accessing the helpdesk via our intranet portal. Idealy, we want them to be automatically logged on by default.

I wouldn't think this would be too hard to do if one had a decent understanding of php and the way the authentication flows; I'm fairly certain I can figure it out in time but had hoped that someone else has gone down that road already...

Has any progress been made on this? I've done some searching and haven't found a solution. It looks like the two files to examine are /includes/LoginShare/activedirectory.login.php and /index.php (I'm using 3.00.90 STABLE). I will continue to play around with this, and if I figure something out, I'll try to remember to post it here.
