    I am developing CGI PERL scripts that are ran from our companies intranet. We have various people we would like to use the WEB tools across the agency. It doesn't seem practical to have them all have UNIX accounts. I am hoping that I can set this up to use the Windows login / password as verification. So I would only need to configure tomcat to allow the users to use the CGI script and then their login password verification would happen at the Windows Domain Controller. The only experience I have with this is using Kerberos to authenticate UNIX account login passwords. So none really for this specifically but I thought there might be a way. Anyone already doing this? Any tips? Even if you know it won't work, I would also like to know that.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jen
