Ah. I can see now how it could be a potentially serious security risk if you could
somehow get a clients' username just by calling a web page.
We were actually looking at a way to automatically allow a user into our web-based
applications without having them authenticate again(since we already use their NT
Domain credentials to allow them to access the phsyical computer, why have them log in
again to a web-app at the same workstation?).
Thanks!
