I hope you are familiar with APIs.
If not, just copy this code and use it. If you have some knowledge you can move API declaration to a module.


[PHP]Option Explicit
Private Declare Function WNetGetUser& Lib "Mpr" Alias "WNetGetUse rA" (lpname As Any, ByVal lpUserName$, lpnLength&)

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim username As String
Dim cbusername As Long
Dim ret As Integer


username = Space(256)
cbusername = Len(username)
ret = WNetGetUser(ByV al 0&, username, cbusername)
If ret = 0 Then
' Success - strip off the null.
username = Left(username, InStr(username, Chr(0)) - 1)
Else
username = ""
End If

Debug.Print username
End Sub[/PHP]

Good Luck.

The rest of my application is using authentication that is database driven and wouldn't want the users to know the userid and password. Is this possible? If so...

Hello, I am having trouble using Integrated Windows Authentication between our intranet server and our database server, both of which are on our local domain. Windows authentication works for our intranet server - my domain user "DOM\nme" is correctly authenticated and authorized to view the ASP.NET page on our intranet. The ASP.NET application uses impersonation (<identity impersonate="true"> in Web.config).

Hi All, We have a requirement where we have to develop a custom Login Page which will accept user's NT credentials ( Username , password, domain name). This then needs to be passed to a website which uses Windows Authentication Now my question is how do we pass these credentials to IIS in classic ASP? Would appreciate any help/pointers on this. Thanks in advance.
