Hi All..



Please bear with me, its a little bit long mail.

I am an Intranet Appliaction Developer and a newbie to

security issues.

I have a couple of problems, pls go thru it and pour

some light.



Case 1:

We use novell NDS for network authentication. I have

craeted an

ASP application which is restricted to certain

'individual users & groups'

using NTFS(All the modules within application is

secured using NTFS filse security).



Firstly, i need to pull the USER attributes from NDS

and then populate it into NTSAM.

I have codes to retrieve user details from NDS.Also i

have codes to craete new user in NT using ADSI.

But i doubt, whether the asp application will be fast

if i try to transfer around 2500 records from NDS to

NT.

(2500 times need to loop- For Each User in NDS Create

New profile in NT).

Is there any alternative to achieve this?



Secondly, Assume that i have populated NTSAM with USer

details obtained from NDS.

Now we give NTFS right for restricted applications ,by

picking up the user & groups from NT.

Now,we dont want the NT Native Logon prompt appear,

whenever we try to acces 

the application. I have codes to authenticate against

NT using adsi. But even after authentication

NT prompts the native LogOn Dialog Box. How  can i

disable/bypass it?



Thirdly, assume that we bypassed the native logon

prompt box. whether IIS will

check for the rights as we defined through NTFS(when

we use the adsi custon form authentication)?



First of all, someone pls suggest me the

possibilities, whether this will work? whether it is

possible? Am i going in a right way? If possible , pls

suggest some sites 

or give me some sample codes, as i urgently need this.

I have left little time,

and i am afraid how i am going to do it?.. If this is

possible, the single-sign-on

feature can be enabled. I have collected many

solutions of security issues and got lots of ideas

and sample from this list as well. Now, i need to

integrate all the novell & Microsoft solutions,

so that i can build a NDS,NT cross platform security

system. Whatever you know the solution of the above

(among the three issues), pls share with me.If any one

had done this earlier, pls share yr ideas. Thanks for

yr help.



Best Regards.
