Force Spark to use LAN logons

Hi all, I need an IM client/server solution that does not require user intervention to launch. This is so it is always running and the user cannot choose to not log in to it.

We currently use Spark 2.5.4 with Openfire 3.6.2 on a Windows Server 2000/2003 running to (mainly) XP desktops.

I wondered if there was a way to force spark to use the network logon the user has already used on the PC, rather than requesting username, password, etc in the first place.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

If you are running an Active Directory Domain then you can attempt to configure Single Sign On (SSO). I have a document under my ID and there are several others availbel that explains how to do this.
