I have researched the hints in these forums about authenticating using active directory. These usually offer example code but aren't there are also important tweaks that must be made on the web server before before a domain controller will consent to respond to a query from a ASP page?

I've been trying this solution:

without success and understand it goes back to some root security and authentication issues between IIS and AD.

Can anyone point me to a resource that will give me some guidance in the related issues involved -- or tell me a little about how they have solved these problems?

I'm using IIS6 on server 2003. The web server is a domain member but not a controller.

Thanks

AD normally only grants "Authenticated Users" to have read access, so as
long as the IUSR_machinename (a 'local' username) is authenticated to the
domain, it should not require any other tweaks that I can think of. That
might require adding the IUSR account to one of the Domain user groups
(i.e., Users or Guests), but I'm just talking off the top here - it's been 3
years or so since I did any AD stuff. MSDN.MICROSOFT.COM should be your
reference point for a better answer.
