User Authentication Via API

[MikeHost]

Is there an API or any other way to authenticate a userID / Password against the NT security file or the novell logins. I'm thinking in terms a web applications.

I know that NT Authorization is availible, but that's not exactly what I am trying to do. I want a user to enter a userid/password when prompted. Then I want to be able to verify the login using existing rights that exist on our domain.

What type of web applications are you talking about ???

We are working on an IIS web server that runs on a NT machine that uses VB Script in ASP. Our network is Novell.

Our goal is to use existing Logins/passwords that already exists withing Novell or NT. We could set up an SQL Server database that has the necessary logins/passwords in it. However, we were hoping to be able to use something that is already in place. That way our users would not have to have a different login/password when they login to our web app.

We have several users that are not within our network domain. However, they are set up on our exchange server. Is there a way that we can somehow authenticate our logins against that SAM database?

Well, then all you have to do is to enable Integrated Windows Authentication on IIS server.
