Yup, something other then Anonymous Login. Specifically in IIS an admin
needs to designate the web-site|folder|file security to use "Windows
Integrated Security". This causes the Windows OS to ask a Windows
Browser to get the users domain security identity from a Windows
Operating System.

Note: How Windows is in the chain from the top to the bottom. Just be
aware that if some part of that chain is not Windows then it does not
work as silently. For Example, if a user uses Firefox instead of I.E.
the browser can not get the login from the operating system and the user
must full in a security pop-up window.

An important ramification of this is that some ColdFusion functionality
can not work with integrated security. The most common gotcha's are
scheduled tasks and web services. You will want any resource used for
these purposes not be 'secured' with Windows Integrated Security in IIS.

Luckily it is very easy to turn this on or off right down to the file
level so you can be very granular on with is and is not locked down with
Windows Integrated Security.
