getting windows account logon details 1

[1DMF]

Hi,

We have an admin section of our website shielded behind SSL and uses Windows Authentication to gain access to the web area.

Usually only staff use this section so there is a one userid/pword for access.

Now I've been asked to set up additional logins for 3rd parties and so I need to be able to create additional logins for the folder path in IIS, but then only display certain areas / menus based on who just logged in.

How do I gain the info on UserID used to login via perl once the browser loads the default page after windows has authenticated login.

hope that makes sense.

Cheers,
1DMF.

print out the %ENV hash. Normal there will be a $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} variable that will tell you the login/pass of who is logged in. Not sure with windows authentication but if it isn't in %ENV I wouldn't know how to find it.

Spot on Travis, many thanks!

It returned 'ServerName/UserID' , easy to split out and work with!
