Window authentication

[Maximus007]

I have a form that that has a user name and I would like it to capture the user's logon. Now I understand that I have to use the following code , but it came up blank? Could any one tell me what is this happening? Am I suppose to do something else?

<input type="text" name="Cae_Name" size="20" value="<%=Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")%>"></SPAN></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="vertical-align: middle">


Thanks

IIS has to require NT authentication in order to force it to record the NT authentication information. I don't know why it is that way, it just is. If you packet sniff web transactions you'll see the NT username get passed with web requests but for whatever reason IIS doesn't actually hold on to them andmake them available unless you set the option in IIS for NT authentication.
Of course at that point the user will either have to login everytime or be suing either a domain account or be set up in your users and groups for that box.

Don;t take my word for tat, I haven't messed with NT authentication in years, so I may be remembering incorrectly.

I still appreciate the input. I will look into that.

Thanks

Tarwn is right, you can cofigure IIS to use Windows Authentication as well as anonomous access.
This will pass LOGON_USER for any one in a domain trusted by the webserver.
The alternative is to remove anonomous access which will force anyone not on a trusted domain to login everytime they hit the site.

Does any one know where I can get the step on how to configure IIS?

In the Internet Information Services console, open the properties dialog for the website or virtual directory you are using. Select the Directory security tab, then click the edit button in the 'Anomymous access and authentication control' section.
This dialog will enable you to turn anonymous access on or off and specify whether to use Integrated Windows Authentication.
