in reply to ActivePerl Windows Login and Password question.

Surely it would be simpler (assuming all the clients are using IE of course) to just turn on the "Integrated windows authentication" in IIS (and of course turning off anonymous access) then as long as they already have authenticated to the domain (and have access to the server in question) they should be authenticated seamlessly without having to enter the credentials again.

    You can enable Windows Integrated Authentication in Firefox so your clients would not all have to be IE.

    Basicly there are 3 keys that need the FQDN or partial Domain name of the web server added to them.
    It's let me ditch IE almost completely at the office.
