With some assistance from folks on the forum I've been able to modify an out of box portal application so it bypasses the need for a user to login, but instaead grabs the users NT authentication info to validate the user.

The problem I now have is the page initially starts on default.asp, the switches to the login.asp page where it authenticates the user. Fine so far, but in order for the authentication to occur the user needs to have some type of interaction with the screen (the result of an input type=submit. I'd like this to be seemless (ie require no input from the uuser). Here is the section that prompots for user input (and I assume the section I need to modify). I can remove the input type = password and the input type = "text" boxes which leaves me with just an OK button on my page. But I have to depress this to get the authentication to pass and bring up my default.asp when properly authenticated.

<form name="loginform" action="./login.asp" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="cookieexists" value="false">

<table border="0" width="109%" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
      <td width="29%">
        <p align="left">Login Initials: </td>
      <td width="80%" colspan="2"><input type="text" name="Initials" size="8"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td width="29%">
        <p align="left">Password:</td>
      <td width="48%"><input type="password" name="Password" size="20"></td>
     <td width="32%">
        <p align="left"><input type="submit" value="OK" name="OK"></td>
    </tr>
    <input type="hidden" name="url" value="<%=String(Request.QueryString("url"))%>">
    </table>
</form>

why don't you just grab the username with
Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")

and pass it as a querystring to the login?

Either that or use a client-side cookie.
