I have ASP page which requires Windows Authentication. when users connecting via Intranet (same domain) from a remote site (different LAN) use tthis and subsequent pages Requesy.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER") returns the wrong user. If the browser is refreshed then the correct user pops up. The information is user-sensitive and if the browser is not refreshed, the user can see other persons data.


Help! IIS5 W2K
 
It is probably only returning the value that it received in the Request header. Refreshing the browser forces the header to be re-sent.
 
Yes. There is a proxy server involved...
 
Yes. I guess I should have stated that earlier
 
If you have a handy way to simulate the problem, you can take a look at the entire contents of the Request with something like this: (VBScript version)

For each foo in Request.ServerVariables
Response.Write foo & " = " & foo.value & "<BR>
Next
