security_asp thread: logging user information


Message #1 by "Amir Aboulhelm" <gwlaxa@w...> on Tue, 9 Apr 2002 19:58:26
A browser doesn't send the NetBIOS machine name as part of a HTTP request.

You could:
a) use the IP address to do a reverse lookup, eg if you are running DNS for
Active Directory - there are components that let you do reverse DNS lookups.
Alternatively, IIRC, you can enable this in the website logging properties
as part of your website logs.
b) if you use static IP addresses (not DHCP) then the IP address should be
enough to identify the machine

Cheers

: using windows authentication, but in our case we are using anonymous.
: which returns blank. is there any way to extract "computer name" some how?
