Hi Rob,
Maybe there is another way of doing this, the purpose I try to achieve
is when windows users logon to their windows with user name and
password, then they able to access my perl program. This mean that a
list of authorized windows user name is store in database, so if the
windows user name match with the user name in database, then my perl
cgi program will auto login the user.
Really hope you can help me on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Leo.
