SharePoint Login override
I'm new hear and trying to understand how Sharepoint (wss) does it's log in. Here is my problem. I have users that want to get to my sharepoint server BUT do not log into the domain/server. My plan is to setup user accounts on the server for them to access - but this brings up a user inconvenience. Yet one more userID to remember/maintain. On all of my other non-Microsoft Intranet sites the userIDs are in the form ofuserid@mycompany.com. I was hoping I could write an applet that Sharepoint would direct to first. The applet would strip off the userid and 1) validate the useid on the legacy Intranet site and if approved pass just the userid (name) and password and log into the system using members accounts. Finally pass control over to Sharepoint for access to the proper webpage.
Is this even possible? Any direction and help would be greatly appreciated!
