I forget the actual option, but it's not Basic Authentication or Digest Authentication. It's the other one. ;-)
Turn that on and IE should, by default, send the user's credentials to the web server. As mentioned in a recent, similar post, it sends the hash, not the password. However, you can assume that, by that point, the user has already been authenticated by the workstation. I don't like this method because I like to sit down at another user's computer and log in with my credentials. I'm not sure of your sysadmin's reasons, but they seem quite narrow-minded. If they won't let your web app interact with the DCs, I bet they hate having workstations connect to the DCs, as well. Seems kinda silly. They won't even allow LDAP access? mike -----Original Message----- From: Pete Ruckelshaus [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 12:17 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Possible to get NT domain user without cfntauthenticate? I'm building an intranet application. Users will not necessarily be logged in, but there are things that I need to track; all users are logged into the NT domain on their computers, is it possible to get the username that the person is logged into their PC as? Using cfntauthenticate isn't an option, the sysadmins won't allow this app to interface with the domain controller in any way.
