All,



Is it possible to get the username of the user logged in on the network 

with an asp script when anonymous access is used in IIS?



Thanks in advance...

Gib

Gib,



You will always get the internet user account information, which is

usually IUSR_COMPUTERNAME. You could force all users to logon to the

application rather than the network and store a user name in your

database. There's a good ASPToday article on this from 7/4/2000 titled

"Advanced Login Management System using SQL and ASP." Here's the link

Thanks for the response.  This is for our intranet site inside the firewall

and I really don't want to make the users "log in" again.  I was just trying

to provide some customized services to the logged in user.  I can read

through the active directory and determine group membership rather easily,

the only missing piece is being able to get the username.  I can't believe

that this info isn't stored somewhere on the remote machine.

Gib,



you can force NTLM authentication (in an anonymous environment) using the 

following:



<%

if request.servervariables("remote_user")="" then

   response.status = "401 Unauthorized"

end if

%>

Then you can use request.servervariables("remote_user") to get the User 

Name. The users will not be prompted for authentication if you are on an 

intranet and the URL does not contain dots. Do not use DNS registration 

(e.g. http://www.name.com/path) use WINS registration of the site instead 

or the server name (e.g. http://servername/path).
