UNIX user groups and compatibility with Win NT

[Perceval]

Hi,

I am trying to devise a login security scheme on a ColdFusion server. The server is a Unix station, and it receives requests from a web html server, running on an NT station. Users access the web html server via Windows NT stations as well.

I would like to create some user groups on the ColdFusion Unix server so that each group would only have access to specific ColdFusion files. I know how to create user groups, but, I don't know how the ColdFusion Unix server can identify the users through the web html NT server. Can an NT session be recognized by a Unix station?

It is not enough to create some login screens on the webserver, otherwise only the hmtl pages are protected, and the ColdFusion pages are not. A solution might be to migrate the ColdFusion server from the Unix station to an NT machine, but this might be tedious. Are there any way to solve this incompatibility issue?
Thanks in advance.

What about running more than one web service, you could run on ports 80 81 82 83... Etc. Otherwise take a look at somthing like PAM
