in thread NT Authentication - CGI as valid NT domain account

We're running Apache 2, so I've found mod_sspi. A few more tweaks need to be made so everything is configured correctlyl, but I'm fairly confident this will work fine. My problem now is getting the CGI script to run as the logged in user. On an NT box, under which user will the script run? If it is not as the logged in user, how would I go about changing this? I've seen many options for Unix, but Windows is a different beast. Thanks for your suggestions.

    I have never needed to get the scripts executed as the logged on user. I tend to run apache with an account that has the correct permissions for what I require. If I need the scripts to access more resources, I then grant it to the account.

    You might be able to use SUSExec but I have never used it, and I believe that it can cause security issues.
