Actually if you have IIS set for Windows Authentication you can get the network login
Put the following in an .asp (I call it printenv.asp) file in your web directory and call it from your browser. This shows all variables available in the HTTP Header. <html> <HEAD></HEAD> <BODY> <% for each header in Request.ServerVariables response.write header & " = " & Request.ServerVariables(header) & " <br><br> " next %> </BODY> </HTML> Fred -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Misi Mladoniczky Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 7:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Get user's network login on mid-tier (and AD authentication project) Hi, I don't think there is. The browser is not supposed to "talk" to the native OS, as this would be a security problem.
