Getting user login name

wmacomber · February 4th, 2005, 03:59 PM

I am looking for a 'down and dirty' snippet of ASP code that will tell me who is logged on a particular machine. I have a HTML page and based on who is logged on, I can then decide what menus/links to have displayed for that particular person.

Try Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")

<HTML>
<BODY>
You are <%=Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")%>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Tried that earlier, but all I get back is a NULL

By default when you create a Web site/virtual directory in IIS you will have Anonymous Access AND Windows NT Challenge/Response enabled. Now in order to identify the user accessing your site through their windows login you can get the username using Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER"). This will return a value only if Anonymous Access is DISABLED and you only have Basic Authentication OR integrated windows authentication ENABLED
