Many  thanks to both of you, Dmitriy and Pascal, for your interest in this matter. I have unfortunately not had time to work on this the last couple of days and will not have time for the next few days :-(

Of course I have nothing against to put this thread up on AWS mailing list. The reason why I have mailed personnally to you is merely that it is about non-universal matters: Microsoft Nt network, Microsoft Internet Explorer.

So, to all you on AWS mailing list: 
My original question was: How can I get the network username into AWS from the clients computer without forcing him to enter it through typing it. The network is Windows NT, the browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer, and I do not want to install Microsoft IIS on the server.

I had not looked at the auth.adb example because I misunderstood it to be an example on the https side. Now I have tried it and have got quite nice the authentication window and all worked fine. Hurray! The only problem is to get the authentication data from somewhere in the security standards where you guys ride much faster than I. 

Keep on if you are still interested in these security things. My knowledge about the http protokoll are way lower than you so I can for now not contribute to this discussion with anything clever. 
I steal time from my other damned non-Ada duties for at least reading everything that you write!
