Re: Impersonating user

as Joe says - you need to auth the user to impersonate him.

Depending on browser settings and other factors you can do that using windows authentication (without showing the logon dialog box).

what's your scenario?

How would you know who the user is to impersonate if you did not
authenticate them somehow?
