IF it is a Windows network, AND you run PHP on IIS, the server variable NT_AUTH_USER is defined for you. However, I suspect from the fact that you are looking at COM objects from Novell that you are running a Novell network. > <sarcasm>Apparently it's not impossible to do this without > prompting for the username / password then eh?</sarcasm> > > ActiveX controls are in the COM family.

However, I believe this response was a little hasty as I do not believe that the question involves running an ActiveX Control on a server, but on a client. In this case, the variables that are passed into your VBScript need to be then added to an HTML form (via hidden input tags) and the form needs to be submitted. Thing is though, this means transmitting user network login details via POST and this means that it would be possible for anyone on your network to watch this traffic and get logins for anybody that uses your system. Maybe a better solution in this case would be to associate a user account with a network login when the account is created and store this information in your user database.
