On our intranet when a user first navigaes to my web application he is
prompted by the Browser to provide his user name and a password. Is there a
way of retrieving a user name on the server? If not, how else can I
personalize the user?

Thanks

Try Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") or
Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")

re: Retrieve user login name

I am trying Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")
and despite that I have an Anonymous Access removed
it is still an empty string.
