Get Username of a domain user - ASP / Active Server Pages

jach

How can I get the domain, username and PC network name (Win 2000 Pro & Win
XP Pro PC's) of the current logged on user (logged onto a domain and access
an intranet page, Window 2000 server running IIS) and put this automatically
in a textbox in an webpage. Can this be done with asp & VB?

I basically want to automatically populate a username field with the users
logon so the do not need to type it themselves, leading to type errors.

Thanks,

Hi,

You can get domain\username into a textbox by using:

<input type="text" name="myusernam ebox" value="<%=reque st.servervariab les("LOGON_USER ")%>">

I don't think there is a server variable for the name of the client machine.....so not sure on that one.

I have a similar question that hopefully someone can help me with....

I have site running on a Windows 2000 server on my (NT4) internal domain(TESTDOMA IN). I need to be able to display certain information on the web pages based on who is accessing the site. I'm trying to use Request.ServerV ariables("LOGON _USER") to show me who is logged in, but I'm having trouble with it...

If a user is already logged onto TESTDOMAIN, I don't want them to have to re-enter their login information when they try to access the site.

I have DNS set up for the site as http://mysite.mydomain.com. When I try to access the site through this hostname, the LOGON_USER variable is blank...I guess since IIS sees the user hitting the site as the IUSR_machinenam e anonymous account. If I access the site via http://machinename, it returns the correct domain user account. My problem is that I need to set it up using a dns host name....and if I remove anonymous access from the site, the users will be prompted for a username/password every time they hit the site.

How can I determine the user's TESTDOMAIN account name transparently when they try to access http://mysite.mydomain.com?

Thanks very much in advance for any information!

capturing username

by: Brent Burkart | last post by:

I am trying to capture the Windows Authenticated username, but I want to be able to capture the login name that exists in IIS, not Windows. In order to enter my company's intranet through the internet, they have to login. I want to be able to capture that login versus their Windows login because I need to know who they are from any computer rather than only their computer. Any ideas? Thanks

Process.Start with Username hangs

by: Kirk | last post by:

The following C# web service works fine until you uncomment the lines setting UserName and Password. Then the process starts as the specified user, but hangs in a suspended state. In fact, any executable will exhibit this problem; it is not specific to whoami.exe. This is with .NET 2.0, of course (1.1 does not support running a process as a different user). This appears to be a bug. Can anyone comment? <%@ WebService Language="C#"...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
