Calling pages for values 1

[TheConeHead]

Wasn't sure which forum to post this on but I know you guys are very knowledgable so here I am (but don't worry- it does involve some ASP)....

Here's the deal:
I have a ColdFusion site on a domain that is not the same as the users thus I can not grab login ids... what I want to do is call an ASP page that is on the same domain as the users... have it grab the domain name and pass it back to the CF site... anyone have a clue how I would do that?? I do have a SQL server in play as well if that helps...

A little confused, do you really want the domain name, or the user ID??

Whatever, I think the solution is the request.serverVariables collection in ASP, the code;

sUSer =request.servervariables("LOGON_USER&quot sUSer sServer=request.servervariables("SERVER_NAME&quot

will leave sUSer holding the User name of the current user, and,

sServer, holding the domain name of the server.

then form a url like

"

http://www.coldfusiondomain.com/myC...ame="&oUser&"&domain="&sServer

and do a response.redirect to this page. your CF page will then have the variables in the QueryString, is this what you mean???

your correct... I meant login id... excellent idea... Do you know of a way to do the same thing without having the values in the URL?? so posting them instead of getting them....

Idealy I suppose you would want to send form data directly to the CF app, unfortunatly I dont know if you could do that directly from ASP (anyone?)

A solution would be.

1) generate a HTML form via asp, with a onLoad javaScript function that would form.submit() the page, then you would put the CF address in the Forms action="yourCFpage.cfm" parameter.

bit messy though
