We've got a unique situation in our public computer lab. Most of the
software on the PCs is for public consumption. However there is one
application (Sci Finder Scholar) that may only be used by people who are
registered in the university's Active Directory.
This is what I've done so far:
1) I've changed the security of the executable file so that only members
of the domain can run the executable.
2) I've checked "run program as a different user" on the shortcut
When people click on the shortcut, they get a window telling them that
they don't have authorization to run the program, and that they must
enter a different password. The user is prompted for the local
machine's Administrator password.
They can change the domain name and enter their information. What I
want to know is: is there any way to change the dialog so that it
defaults to the campus domain? Or is there another way to go about
this?
Thanks,
