Hi all,  
I am trying to authenticate my application using windows NTid/password  
via SSPI module. Configuring SSPI in apache, we can use windows  
authentication to access the application. I am using InstantRails and  
configured application with apache.  
But when trying to load SSPI module it, it fails and stops apache. Can  
we use SSPI in InstantRails.  
Please help me out.

Thanks,

---

Hi all,  
I think, I got the answer, InstantRails is built with Apache 1.3 which  
doesnot support SSPI, only Apache 2.x support it.  
Does anybody knows how to authenticate application using windows  
NTid/Password.

Thanks,
