RE: Authentication

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



[snip]
My application is only used within my company. I want to pull the NT
Authenticated user that is logged in, cross reference that user with
what I
have pulled from ldap and verify the user's name is valid. If the
username
is valid I will assign it to a variable and use that variable to store
the
name of the user that submitted the requests.

Yes, I am trying to get a single sign on method if possible.

This is one of those holy grail questions asked before several times
here. In order to pull this off the computer would have to know who you
are after you have logged on. ASP has
Request.Servervariables("LOGON_USER") and requires that the web server
(IIS) be set up properly.... if IIS is set to use Basic Authentication
or Windows Authentication then LOGON_USER is populated.

So this is not possible using PHP (server-side). Perhaps JavaScript? Not
really. Hours of searching the web will reveal that this is not
probable.
