Thanks for the response.

Just to confirm, not all users will have an account in the AD domain. I
would like to acheive Single sign on, (SSO), where possible.

So I will allow NTLM first and then use Basic. I'm not sure about running 2
different VDIRs, I guess I'll need to try it. The other thought was to use a
filter to remove NTLM after the first 401 failure, and then get IIS to use
Basic so that I can validate against my local database.

Many Thanks

Dave
