Get System user name at WINNT and WIN2000

[jay.chan]

I am writing a web application to get System user name. By reading the
previous post, it seems that this method works

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Dim user, pword
user = Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")
Response.Write user
%>

but I want to ask is it only work at WINNT? How about WIN2000 Server, I
can get nothing when use this statement on WIN2000 Server.

Besides,
If I want to use Jsp, is there any methods to achieve the same thing?

Thank you!

You have to turn off anonymous access to the site or directory or page and
authenticate your users before you can get the auth_user variable to be
populated with a value.
