I just tried my JS/ActiveX/PHP script on a PHP5 server using the ISAPI module in IIS and it didn't work at all. Works fine under my PHP4 server using the CGI module. I don't understand what the difference would be, but maybe someone could fill me in. Until further notice, I retract my code because it doesn't work consistently on all PHP servers. The $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"] method works ok, but returns the old Win 2000 style DOMAIN\username, rather than the new Windows 2003 username@xxxxxxxxxxx I would be interested to see how this formatting would fare when used to log in to a Windows 2003 server via the LDAP functions. -Aaron Kenney On 3/22/06, Grinberg, Kevin <kgrinberg@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I believe what you're looking for is: > > $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"] > > However, it'll only work if the client is authenticated - if you allow > anonymous access to the web site, the client will not be authenticated, so > there's no Windows username to get (you can check the logs to find out). > The details vary depending on your web server and client - IIS/IE is easiest > (on Windows), but I have it working with Apache/Firefox, so it's not > platform-exclusive.
