Capturing NT Logon Info in Intranet 2

[ryandoah]

Hi All,

I have an Intranet that people logon to with their NT Domain user name and password. How can I capture this data for later use in ASP pages in the Intranet? Such as if someone altered a document in the Intranet, and I wanted to be able to append the changed record in the DB to reflect which user changed the doc.

Thank you,
ryandoah

if you're using ASP and having users log in via nt challenge response, just use request.servervariables("LOGON_USER")

request.servervariables("USER_LOGON") -->user name

That was easy enough, hopefully I can make the "programmer" who initially posed the question feel as dumb as I do now. Server Variables, duh.

Thanks Gents.

In addition, I have found that requesting REMOTE_USER will work also, though don't know what the difference is during runtime.

remote user on failure to retrieve the name will resolve to an IP whereas logon user will resolve to a blank

REMOTE_USER sounds like what I want. eg. The ability to identify the user, under any circumstance. That way I can at least tell if the user is in my domain or not. And if so, be able to track it down to a particular machine.

Thanks for the help.
