I have implemented the Active Directory module and it works wonderfully. I am using no other type of authentication.

At the bottom of every page I have implemented the [LOGIN] feature, and clicking it brings users to the login page, where they can enter their Windows credentials. However, the client requires that the word 'Login' be changed to 'VIP' and that users are auto logged-in if applicable, and otherwise the user receive the gray Windows popup if they need to enter their credentials.

I removed the [LOGIN] feature from the skin file and put an href to the Windowssignin.aspx page and applied permissions approriately as described by the Windows Authentication Module Guide, and that works nearly perfectly. However, using that method, my users have no way to logout.

I was wondering how to modify the [LOGIN] feature so that I get the benefits of using it, but rename the word 'Login' to 'VIP' and point the login to the Windowssignin.aspx instead?

Thanks for any help you may provide!

By [LOGIN] feature you mean the skin object like you see in the upper right of the DNN site. I'll have to do some digging but you should be able to change that in one of the resource files (globalresources.aspx.resx would be my guess).

Now changing it to point to the WindowsSignin.aspx is much more difficult. Off the top of my head I guess that's going to require a custom skin object.
