    Luke,
        Thanks for the response.

        So I would create a form that had, say, an "auto login" button that says
    something like "Login as user logged into this machine" and right below it
    would be the second alternative, which would be a form with inputs fields
    for user id and password with a button that says "Login as another user".
    The second alternative allows me to go to a coworkers workstation where they
    were logged in, and login as myself rather than using their NT logon token.

    Now, I have to choose windows OR forms authentication in web.config; I can't
    use both. If I do as the KB article suggests, I use forms authentication.
    But if I do this, my "auto login" button won't work. What I'm really after
    here is a way to allow a user to not have to input their user id and
    password if they are already logged in on that machine while at the same
    time, allowing users to do an explicit authentication as any user.

        I've seen this done in MS Project Server's web interface.
