Hi guys,

Trying to put up an intranet where we have mixed usage, windows and macs and authentication is either on Active Directory or Open Directory respectively.

I have read a load but it looks tricky. For windows users it's quite easy using windows authentication but for mac users?

So I thought about doing this...

Somehow extract the logon name from either platforms and then use that with forms authentication to authenticate against a users table thus avoiding a login page.

Has anybody done this please? How can I get the Logon name or some other form of identification from windows or mac?

Cheers,

Jeff

 
I have heard of users mixing windows and forms authentication. You could use this as a starting point.
