Getting Windows Logon ID

[IS300]

How do I get the login ID of the user within ASP? I also want to strip the domain or computer they are logged onto as well,

So instead of domain\userid or computername\userid, I want just userid.

Thanks

try something on the line like this

dName = UCase(CStr(Request("REMOTE_USER&quot))
i = InStr(1,dName,"\&quot + 1
dName = Mid(dName,i)
Response.Write "User is " & dName

should do the trick

to be absolutely correct then it might be best to put

dName = UCase(CStr(Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_USER&quot))

instead of

dName = UCase(CStr(Request("REMOTE_USER&quot))

just incase you create another variable called "REMOTE_USER"

I tried this, it doesn't work.

The screen is blank, nothing prints on the screen. People are either logged onto our domain, or in a workgroup through a VPN connection

Just a thought....Remote user credentials are only passed if the Local IUser_Server and IWAM_Server don't have access to that ASP. If those accounts appears in the Security Permissions of that specific ASP take them out and replace them with the correct Domain groups to allow proper access to the page.

cUsr = ucase( request.servervariables("LOGON_USER&quot)

' Remove domain
cUsr = right( cUser, len(cUsr) - instr(cUser, "\&quot)


but check the security tab in IIS (for the folder with this ASP): you need "integrated windows authentication"

Thanks, I figured it out. As long as the user is logged into our domain, I can get the ID.

The problem is that some users are not on our domain, rather in workgroups in field offices who basically VPN in through a router. I can capture their ID fine, but they would have to log into our domain first, which they would get prompted for the first time they try to open the page. We want to avoid having them log in in order to get their ID
