Site login?
We have an intranet. Staff may login to this intranet and upon doing so access parts which would otherwise be inaccessible. All very standard, role-based stuff.
Staff also logs into their workstations each day authenticating against our windows-based domain. Again, commonplace, every day stuff.
Here’s where it gets tricky. I’d like an intranet home page that displays employee-specific messages based on that employee’s roles and permissions. That’s easy to do once the user has logged into the intranet. But, I want the intranet to detect who the user is based on their domain login and then deliver personalized content based on that—without requiring a second login to the application too.
I know about cfntauthenticate and cfldap (though I’ve never actually had occasion to use them), but don't think that’s what I’m looking for. Those authenticate against a domain, but require the user to submit a username and password. In my scenario, the user’s already submitted a username and password to login to the domain, and I want the Intranet to be able to detect who that user is automatically without requiring a second login.
Doable?
