Netvibes

Netvibes was listed as one of the top Web 2.0 apps of 2005. Many of you have probably already seen this but for those who missed it like I did, I thought I'd post a quick link.

Netvibes is a dashboard style page with pods you can customize with your own content. You can keep notes, view your Gmail, keep an eye on various feeds, do web searches etc... This can all be achieved without the hassle of having to create an account. Of course, if you want to be able to view your page from multiple computers, an account is required.

CF Eclipse Tutorials

I'm just finishing my first major CF project. I built it using Dreamweaver 8 and Flex Builder 1.5 mostly. I'd like to give CF Eclipse but I don't know much about it. I was wondering what advantages (if any) does it have over Dreamweaver, and are there any good tutorials on how to use it out there. Anybody have any ideas/suggestions on this?

Coldfusion and Windows Integrated Security

The project I'm currently working on resides in two locations. One inside our corporate firewall for users to setup a survey and a second outside our firewall for users to actually take the survey. For the internal piece we wanted to be able to identify the user based on their Windows login information so they did not have to log-in a second time.

It took a little searching but once I found what I was looking for it was actually quite simple to implement. First off you need to disable anonymous access to the directory containing you web site in IIS and then enable Windows Integrated Security. Once that is in place you you can use the CGI environment variable AUTH_USER to grab the username of the user currently logged into the machine in the domain\username format.
