Hi,

Windows 2000 Server
IIS 5.0

These logins are via web site.
I have several folders where I need to log in.
I am also using
Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")
in some of the files to further control security.

When I go to this one folder it is logging me in as
"fox"
the other folder is loggin my in as
"machinename/fox"

I am finding this out by using
Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER" ))

The folder's and the file's security settings are identical
unless I am overlooking something. What can be happening
here? I need to get these to both be the same.

Thanks,
Fox

It depends on what was entered as the credentials. You should modify your
code so it strips out the domain or machine name qualification.

That's what I ended up doing. Don't know why I did not think of that
right away. Maybe its because it was so frustrating to see the same
login responding differently and not seeing any reason for this.

Thanks for the input,
