AW: [SQU] Authentication

Hello Robert,

thank you for your tip, but I did already know about ladp for nds.
As I told in my posting, the problem is on the client side. I need to make
the authentication easier by setting automagicaly the username in the
authentification message box of the client. If possible I would like to put
there the full qualified name of the user.

It's not a server side problem. I need to know if I can tell the client (
Explorer ) to take this username from the login data of the client.

Example:

The user logs into a NDS tree.
It opens a side that needs authentication.
squid tells explorer to open the authentication dialog box.
( here happens the magic )
Explorer fills up the username with the qualified name.

Thank you

Andreas
