Hi, hope someone can help

I need to take the USERNAME and a few other details from Environment Variables. The code below works for some of the variables, but not others, like USERNAME, LOGONSERVER and COMPUTERNUMBER - do I have to do something different to get this to work?

Thanks in advance,
Jez

<% username= request.servervariables(&quot;windir&quot;) %>

<html><body>
<%Response.Write(username)%>
</body></html

The security credentials are held in an HTTP header called AUTH_USER, there are similar ones for the other pieces of information that you want but off the top of my head I can't remember them.

The documentation lists all of them though.

Thanks, I can get variables such as HTTP_USER_AGENT and REMOTE_ADDR to work, but still can't get the User name.

Sorry to be a pain but I'm new to this and trying to teach myself ASP - where do I find the documentation relating to the Environment Variables?

Thanks again in advance

request.servervariables(&quot;AUTH_USER&quot;) returns domain\username.

Whatever editor you are using should come with the documentation if it is a proper ASP editor.

The MSDN library and the macromedia dreamweaver documentation have them in, failing search the internet for HTTP_HEADERS.

Thanks for your help, I was getting it right but for some reason some of the Server Variables return nothing(and it would be the ones I want)

Must be something to do with my server/client settings

I'll have to try another method

Cheers

Try this in a ASP page, so you can see all the Servervariables
<table cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;>
<%
For Each strItem in Request.ServerVariables
If strBGColour = &quot;FFFFFF&quot; Then
strBGColour = &quot;CCCCCC&quot;
Else
strBGColour = &quot;FFFFFF&quot;
End If
%>
<tr bgcolor=&quot;#<% =strBgColour %>&quot;><td width=&quot;30%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;><p><% =strItem %></p></td><td valign=&quot;top&quot;><p><% =Request.ServerVariables(strItem) %></p></td></tr>
<%
Next
%>
</table>
