Windows Authentication and CF10

According to the documents, you can and should run ColdFusion using a windows account.  I have setup CF Application service to run under an Active Directory account, but Apache throws a 500 server error.  Based on the screen dump it is an authentication error, but I cannot find the log file nor can I find a configuration file.  I suspect that now that CF runs on Apache, you have to set the Apache to run under the same user, but I cannot confirm.  Any assistance is appreciated.

Silly me.  You need to make sure that this user account has the same level of permissions that the System account would have (Full Control).  Then restart the service.
