Hello,
I am a (relatively) newbie to PHP - and am wondering how to use PHP (?) to get
the name of the user logged on to 'my' https:// site.
IT set up the site via SSL and using active directory's users (i.e., IIS and
Windoze...) for the logon.
Every staff member can logon with their own Windoze network credentials, which
is pretty slick as I let the network admin take care of permissions, passwords,
etc through Windows Server.
Web users with limited permissions have and can be added by IT as well, with my
input on permission levels.
Anyway... the user has the ability to write some stuff back to a PostgreSQL
database and I would like to keep track of who is logged on that session so I
can append their username into the "change log" of the database - *but how do I
get the username?*"
(Note that I could potentially see myself integrating (sic) Windows User
Permissions for each user to differentiate their 'allowable' web page
functionality - but that is in the medium to far future I think...)
I have been exploring LDAP - but it seems like a hammer-and-walnut approach, at
least to my untrained eye.
I started looking at $_SESSION as well... that is enough to do your head in if
you are not used to it, like I am not! <grin>
Any suggestions gratefully received!
Cheers....
