Want to default to certain web page & database view based on NT Group

[uncleroydee]

My project will serve 4 distinct user groups from 4 seperate geographic locations. Each group will have read access to everything but will only be allowed to write or modify records from their home location.

My intention is to make multiple versions of the Insert and Update pages and connect each to it's corresponding view Recordset. Each edition would then be housed in a folder named after the group that has rights to it.

I would like to eliminate the need for my users to select their location name from a list or hyperlink and have the web server return pages customized for the user group.

Is there a way for the web server to learn from the NT Server of what UserGroup a user is a member and pass that as a parameter to be included as part of the URL?

Thanks.

I know you can access that information using the Win32 Network API. You would need an ActiveX control to do that for the ASP code. I don't know if there is a pre-existing control that you can use, one would think so.

You could implement this using MTS and configuring the web server to issue challenge/response.
