Creating NT users for web access shouldn't cause any security problems, however it will have limitations on the number of users. :) That said I'd tackle it by using an ISAPI authentication filter such as this one: http://philt.babel.fr/philt/daf20/. It will allow you to have authentication performed against any ODBC source. Furthermore since it is an ISAPI filter it should be pretty efficient.

So far, I got to creating a user on NT server, and then including this ASP source: <% If Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") = "" Then Response.Status = "401 access denied" End If %> But creating NT server users just for web authentication could be a serious security hole. Is there a way to do it like on NCSA httpd? Of course I could implement my own scripts and encryption algorithms, but why reinvent the wheel if someone already done it.
