Basic Authorization over SSL

[moham]

I want to authenticate a user in the background with a set userid and password (super user) so that the user does not have to log in manually. Then I want to set the authorization header on the page and redirect the user to a resource on the website that is protected. Is this something that can be accomplished usign ASP or do i need a cgi script to do that.

I have done this in the past using java but the server I am working with right now is IIS.

Anyone have any ideas?

Try this:

Set RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset&quot
ntid=Mid(Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER&quot,(instr(1,Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER&quot,"\&quot+1))
SQL = "SELECT * FROM [User] WHERE (ntuserid = '" & ntid & "') ORDER BY fname,lname"
Set RS = objConnection.Execute(SQL)
