Getting UserName when NT Challenge/Response doesn't work

Hi,

I'm developing an .asp page where we want to identify the user using the page with their Windows NT username (and use this name in the application). We tried setting up the folder the page is contained in to use Windows NT Challenge/Response Authentication, but it keeps prompting for the UserName and Password and never works. Our Systems Engineer says that this will sometimes not work when passwords contain special characters, and all of our passwords do, as a requirement for the organization.

My question is, is there some other way to get the user's NT username, like having them type it in and then somehow in code verifying that they are indeed that user?

Many thanks,
Ray
