retrieve windows login username?

dmorand

I'm trying to retrieve the username of the user logged into a machine when a person visits my page on our intranet. I've looked over cfntauthenticate but that's not going to do what I need it to do.

Is this even possible with coldfusion or should I be looking to asp?

If you're using IIS and Integrated Windows Authentication, cgi.auth_user should be set to DOMAIN\username.

Yeah I turned on Integrated Windows Authentication and now I can get the username of the person logged in. I need to be able to retrieve a list of the groups the user is a member of on our active directory.

I'm trying to use th cfldap, but I'm not getting any data back:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <cfldap 

          server = "domain controller server"

          action = "query"

          name = "results"

          start = "dc=xxxx,dc=xxx"

          filter = "(&(objectclass=group)(name=Domain Admins))"

          attributes = "cn,ou,dn,mail,memberOf"

          sort = "cn ASC">

Is there a really simple cfldap query I can run to make sure I'm making the connection to the server?

See if this tutorial helps.

That helps give me some info, I think I need to have a better understanding of how to query LDAP, I think that might be where my problem is.

If you haven't already, also check out the reference. You could test with a public server (emailman has some useful info.).

I'm able to query LDAP for info, but I can't seem to get the data I'm looking for.

I want to either check if a user is a member of a particular group, or at least retrieve all the groups a user is a member of, whichever one I can do.

Now, it's just an LDAP problem, not necessarily Coldfusion.

I'd say that a basic LDAP tutorial might help. Check this Wikipedia page and the external links.

I ended up figuring it out. Here's what my cfldap looks like:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<cfldap 

          server = "Domain Controller"

          action = "query"

          name = "results"

          start = "DC=ha2000,DC=com"

          filter="samAccountName=#form.name#"

          attributes="cn,displayname,title,mail,member,memberof"    

          username="xxxxxx"

          password="xxxxxxx"

          sort = "memberof ASC">

Glad you got it working. Thanks for posting.

for future, you can download Softerra LDAP Browser (free version) and tweak your filter as much as you like without it being too much of a pain

Thanks for that info, I've got Softerra LDAP Browser now, it's how I've been figuring out what fields I can retrieve now.
