Remote Server and Windows Authentication

Greetings,

I have a remote server, running on port 80, that I want to connect to via RDS, but in IIS,
anonymous access is disabled and to view the website running on it, Windows authentication is required.

I have successfully connected to this remote server from CFBuilder via RDS only after disabling Windows authentication
and enabling anonymous access, but once I switch it back, CF Builder can't connect (401 Unauthorized error).

Is there any way to configure a Remote Server within CFBuilder, so that it passes my Windows authentication
credentials to it?  Or, is there a workaround for this, other than disabling Windows authentication?

Thanks,
-Jose

The only work around for this issue that I found is turning off Windows Authentication for the virtual CFIDE directory you create.  You can leave it on for all others.  Thats what I ended up doing and its worked flawlessly since.
