automatic logon in intranets

[alquanto]

Hi,

is there an option to logon users automatically with windows-logon in intranets?

Suggestion:

Use SSPI with Apache2 on windows with the following in apache2.conf:

LoadModule sspi_auth_module modules/mod_auth_sspi.so

...
<Directory /esupport/>
  AllowOverride None
  AuthName "Protected. Go away."
  AuthType SSPI
  SSPIAuth On
  SSPIAuthoritative On
  SSPIOfferBasic On
  require valid-user
  ...
</Directory>

Works automagically only with MSIE, all other browsers show a logon-box (this is meant with the option "SSPIOfferBasic On") - NICE feature.

If you want only one user, write:

require user domain\username

accept only one usergroup:

require group ITconsultants

And then read the current windows-user from

$myWindowsUser = $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'];

.

Another option is to use the NTLM2 with Apache2 on Linux (here) in an ad-environment
A helpful url is here.

Any Ideas?

good idea, i'm all for it actually. We work only in an intranet environment so it would be useful for sure for users.

This is a good idea! It would be very useful for me as well.

This would be perfect for our intranet setup!

Have to agree would perfect for us as well get so many calls about this issue. Would love to see auto login with AD support.

I believe that the "loginless option" can be a very attractive option for support-suite. What do you think?

I also think this would be a great idea, for AD Integration.
