    Default CGI Variables across local domains

    The broad question: is there any way to use the CGI.auth_user
    CGI.auth_password variables across local hosts so that NTFS authentication is
    NOT required at each stop?

    For example
    Server A ~ portal.blah.blah
    Server B ~ owa.blah.blah
    Server C ~ vhost.blah.blah

    If on login ~ I use IIS basic security [leaving aside all the security risks
    for the moment] on Server A ~ the CGI variables are populated. Once I go to
    server B I am required again to provide my windows authentication credentials.

    Perhaps using an owa over SSL is a bad example....[though that IS the pie in
    the sky].

    I have successfully used CFHTTP supplying the CGI variables as the
    cfhttp.username and cfhttp.password [also supplying them as cfhttparam vars]
    and was able to get to the test page on server C without a problem. The
    cfhttp.filecontent returned the value of the page

    BUT

    1) Although I can view the cffhttp.filecontent ~ any links inside don't work
    b/c the browser still thinks I'm the original VHOST. So I can't really *spoof*
    it.
    2) Using a CFLOCATION redirection ~ prompts again for the Windows
    authentication.
    3) Using a <cfhtmlhead> refreshe also prompts for the windows authentication.

    Any ideas or is this one really big wall against which my head will continue
    to pound?

    Thanks muchly.

    Server A & C are on the same machine, both as websites under IIS. Server B is an exchange server.
    Thanks.
