Single Sign on with Microsoft Windows usename/password

[newbieDev]

Hello everyone,

I have a few questions.

I currently have an application in which users are assigned a username and password to be able to access/use the application.
The problem is people are tired of entering different passwords for different applications and they would like a single sign on. Ussually before you can use your pc, you have to login with a username and password. Is there a way to figure out the pin number/username of the person trying to log into the application, and compare it with the pin number/username in the database - if in database - access, if not- no access.

The application was developed with ColdFusion.


Thanks

You can use the <cfntauthenticate> tag in CF so that people can use their domain username/password for both their PC and the CF application. They still have to log in twice, but it is the same username/password.

If you want to only log in once, you can probably use the <cfldap> tag to look up the user and give them access if found on the ldap server. I say probably because I haven't quite got it working yet.

Also, you will probably get more answers in the Cold Fusion forum.
