Using windows password 1

[Terminus]

Hi there i have an administrators section to my website and i need to password protect it.

What i would like to do is use the administrator password on my windows network to log into the admin page. I can prompt for a windows password using the iis but that would allow any user on teh windows network to log on to it.

Can any1 help me?

Terminus,

Try this:

strAuthUser = Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")

If strAuthUser = "Administrator" then
  - your code -
Else
  Response.Write("Sorry you do not have the correct access privledges.")
End if

If your network is a domain then you will need to break the AUTH_USER variable into two parts and lose the domain name before checking the user name.

Try this:

strAuthUser = Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")
strAuthUser = Mid(strAuthUser, InStr(strAuthUser, "\")+1)

(Do bare in mind that checking against the Administrator user name will allow the local Administrator user to access your page as well as the domain Administrator from the server.)

Hope this helps,
