    What I currently have now is using SSL for secure connections, allowing the
    user to enter a username/password and then call logonuser to get the
    impersonation token and implement my impersonation.

    What I want to do, is directly authenticate the user through the certificate
    to the operating system and extract the impersonation token to use without
    asking the user for a username/password. Is this possible? I'm already using
    SCHANNEL at the moment.

    The authentication can either be to local NT accounts or a local/remote AD
    server
