getting windows logged in user info

[sde]

i want to make asp print the username of the user logged in to the network viewing the web page.

any tutorials anyone can direct me to? i've searched, but the examples i've found don't work for me.

i wish php could read windows user info.

request.servervariables("REMOTE_USER")
request.servervariables("LOGON_USER")
request.servervariables("AUTH_USER")

These only work if you have an authentication filter installed on your Web server that maps incoming users to accounts.

thanks.. it's an intranet server, and only people within the domain can get to it. there are settings in IIS that enable windows authentication.

i had to remove the anon web user and it worked. even better, i got php to recognize the loged in user too =)

a very productive day for sure.

Don't need that - just enable windows authentication in the server and use AUTHORIZATION header then look at: http://www.innovation.ch/java/ntlm.html for how to
decode it, it is in base64 so look: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1521.txt?number=1521 for how to decode base64 messages.
