Getting username and IP address

[jdgonzalez]

Hi all,

I've tried to use the search on the site, but it appears to not be functioning correctly as it won't limit my search to use the asp forum. Here's my issue: I'm trying to capture the IP address and username on a page, but I'm struggling on how to get that information. The information that I have says that you should you '<!--#echo VAR="auth_user"-->', but I can't seem to get it to work.

I have this on my code, but it doesn't seem to execute it.

Any ideas?

<!-- --> comments out whatever text is between the brackets. So what you have there is not executing. Try removing them.

That's what I had thought, but my includes are working correctly. <!--#include file="Connections/dbConn.asp" --> Is #include the only SSI that is allowed by asp? ...or do I have to enable something within IIS?

Ok... I think I found a solution. I was able to get the IP address using <% response.write(request.ServerVariables("remote_addr")) %>. When I try to get 'auth_user', it does not return a value. Am I missing something here?

or servervariables("LOGON_USER")

However both will only return a value is Anonymous Access is off
