Back to an older question about CF and Novell
OK, so it seems that this application is going to be internal, which means that everyone accessing it will be logged in. So, how in CF do I get who is logged onto the computer? I tried CGI.AUTH_USER but it does not work. We use Windows XP and IE. Bruce ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

RE: Back to an older question about CF and Novell
You cannot get the locally logged in user (this of the security risk this would allow!!) but I have been using some code to allow your web app to integrate to either a) windows NT / AD domain, or b) iSeries AS400. If you would be interested in either you can contact me off list.

CF and Novell
OK, I figured out how to get the local user name by changing some settings in IIS. Now though is the issue. CGI.AUTH_USER is returning my windows user name. What I need to figure out is how do I get my Novell username? We log into the network using Novell's login page and then we log into the windows account with a generic ID/password. Surely there has to be a way for me to get my network ID and not the local windows ID. ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

RE: Back to an older question about CF and Novell
You cannot get the locally logged in user. You can if you have Windows Integrated Security enabled and Anonymous disabled in IIS and the user uses IE for their browser. Then cgi.auth_user will be populated with the domain\username of the login on the client machine on a windows domain. Other then that, I have no experience or knowledge. -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA - | 1 | | - Binary Soduko | | | - C code. C code run. Run code run.

Then cgi.auth_user will be populated with the domain\username of the login on the client machine on a windows domain. I'm pretty sure that, by default, this also requires that your server be defined within the appropriate security zone in IE, which limits its usefulness without reconfiguration (manual, or through Group Policy/IEAK/etc).

Re: CF and Novell
Hi Bruce Which activeX have you got a hold of? I have used one referred to as NWDir1 in the past, using the following syntax: cfoutput object classid=CLSID:4F021AE3-9E98-11D0-A808-00C04FDCD94Aid=NWDir1 width=32 height=32/object script language=VBScript Dim vbuser Sub Window_OnLoad() On Error Resume next vbuser = NWDir1.LoginName vbuser = StrReverse(vbuser) initInd = InStr(vbuser, Chr(92)) if initInd 0 Then vbuser = Left(vbuser, initInd-1) vbuser = StrReverse(vbuser) End if // REDIRECTION beware document.location.href = index.cfm?docookietest= + vbuser Exit sub End Sub /script cfabort /cfoutput This uses vbscript to control the activex client, which provides the novell logged in user. This value (vbuser) is then passed back to whatever.cfmwhere it can be processed. This technique is obviously susceptible to url hacking, but I'm not aware of that happening in the 4+ years we used this technique. By the way, the iChain product that Dave suggested won't really help in this area; and it's probably overkill. I'm sure I found this on the Novell site originally - try a search for NWDir1 or the classid on that site. Then all you'll need to do is distribute and register the ocx to all the client PCs!
