collecting logon

How can I collect the windows logon from the machine where a form is being completed and include it in the data set?

To read it from the client is difficult with standard security settings but this would work on low settings:

Code:

var oNet = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Network");
alert(oNet.UserName);

If you are using ASP and the client is authenticated you can use code on the server:

Code:

var sUserName = Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER");

There are similar methods using PHP, JSP etc.
