[support] Drupal + IIS + windows

[Metzler, David]

In such an environment using drupal would be an uphill battle for sure, but if you've got drupal working, and you've got IIS to do NTLM, it would seem to me that you COULD write a drupal module to do what you're asking. 
 
Much of the code is the same as what is in the CAS module (which I maintain) at http://drupal.org/project/cas.  The primary difference is where drupal would get the username. If you got a copy of the cas module, and replaced the cas client code with a " get the logged in user from an IIS provided environment php environment" chunk of code, enabled the drupal is cas user repository checkbox set it up to require cas auth for all pages, you would have the starting point of a module that would, (I believe) do what you ask. 
 
Again, I don't know if its worth it.  If you're reaching for integration with Microsoft products then you might be better off with sharepoint, but if you're looking for all the kinds of things that drupal provides (modular extendibility, rich media integeration, etc) then this might be worth your effort.  Feel free to ask me any questions about the code if you're interested.

Fletch,

I few days left to help the cause for using Drupal but as long as I am unable to 
set up the NLTM so that users do not have to log into drupal then we probably go with
Sharepoint.  I have tried several of the solutions that I found when I googled but
they have not work for me so far.

	Gordon,
	
	Yes, I am interested.  I am planning on using IIS and IE in a windows environment.
	
	Any information you can provide would be helpful.
	
	We are making the decision between Drupal and Sharepoint and so far that is the one thing that
	Sharepoint has over drupal in our requirements. 
	
	Thanks,
	
	Rotsen

	Hi,
	
	Yes I have gotten this to work before, but it only works on IE
	complete (FF will automatically ask for the user/password).
	
	Other issues is that it will not pass the password so Drupal has no
	idea of the password. Basically I had it working so that it placed
	trust in the ADS that the company used.
	
	I would be a bit more specific, but I can't find my original code.
	
	If you want to know more just let me know and I will see if I can find
	it.
