AUTH_USER w/ Anonymous Access?? 1

[eb24]

Quick Question:

I have 'checked' Anonymous Access on my web server, so is there any way to know who is accessing the site?

I used to have the Anonymous Access box 'unchecked' and could tell who was accessing via the AUTH_USER Server Variable, but certain people weren't able to go through the network, thus the I change my configuration.

Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Hi

AUTH_USER gets the windows credentials of the user. For this to work you will need to have anonymous access unchecked and windows authenication checked.

When you check anonymous access IIS automatically assigns the request to the IUSER_MACHINENAME account and hence there are no credentials available.

The MSDN article below discusses various authenticaion methods for ASP.NET applications and may be able to help you find a solution.
