Windows authentication from ASP?

I would like to authenticate users via ASP instead that popup prompt what Windows uses. We have Outlook online and we would like to create an interface for that, so whenever somebody logs in, it will take them to their email box. As I said, we would use a custom login screen instead. Do you think that it is even possible? What would you suggest to start my research?
 
Create a page that has a log in form embedded in it that has fields for the username and password... have it post to an ASP file that then does a server.transfer("username:password@mailserver/exchange") - the user should then transparently be sent to the OWA page.
 
Okay... slight revision... I meant to do a response.redirect not a server.transfer and for some reason it doesn't seem to be working... I get redirected to the correct place but it still asks for a username and password. If I hit cancel I get the normal "access denied" but if I then hit refresh it then shows my mailbox so the login information is being passed along... can't work out why it still prompts initially... hopefully this gets you headed in the right direction though.
 
Hmm... sounds promising. I'll try it and get back to you.
Thanks!
 
Could you please explain the syntaxt of that "username:password@mailserver/exchange"?
"peter:Mypassword@email.ibm.com/Exch1"?
 
It would be "peter:mypassword@email.ibm.com/exchange" assuming that your OWA is located in the default /exchange virtual directory... for example if you access OWA by going to email.ibm.com/exchange
