Accessing security information through COM

Hi,
Based on the HTTP Server Variables, one can obtain the NT domain\username
(I assume you're using NTLM challenge/response for the intranet authentication.)
By passing this to a custom COM object which in turn uses the Win32 API functions
(look in MSDN library under Platform SDK: Access Control) you can obtain
the NT group (at least the primary group) to which the user belongs.
