[AccessD] OT: Retreiving user login name via ASP

Jim,

In IIS, right click the website in question to bring up its properties.
Under Directory Security you will see options for a number of methods of
authentication.  Uncheck everything except integrated and the Users NT login
will then be used to authenticate them to your site.

Their details should also then be passed to those HTTP server variables for
you to access.  If that doesn't work then there must be a setting incorrect
somewhere as it does work - we use it in our apps on the intranet at work.

Cheers,
Andrew

Andrew,

This didn't work.  How do I know if we're using Integrated Authentication?
Is that Windows or IIS?

Thanks,

Jim

If using Integrated Authentication, the NT user name is passed through the
browser HTTP Server variables.

Try this:
Response.Write (Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER"))

This returns a string in the format domain\username

If LOGON_USER doesn't work, try REMOTE_USER

Cheers,
Andrew

Having a disagreement with the boss that maybe someone here can clear up for
me.  He thinks there is a way to return the Win2K user login name from an
ASP page.  I'm not 100% certain but I don't know that I've ever seen that
done.  

Does anyone know if it's possible?  If it is a code sample would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim DeMarco
