Sounds like you may also want to look at the single signon project
http://sourceforge.net/projects/easysso/

I'm not real up on it, but in a controlled environment, I understand it
allows users to signon to their own machine, and use that signon to identify
themselves to any number of servers, including apache servers running your
php.  I believe the interface is much like Gustav mentions below, but
special software and SSL certificates establish a trusting relationship
between your apache server and the Active Directory servers (windoz based).

HTH,

Hi!

It depends on version of PHP, but try with...
$username = $_SERVER["AUTH_USER"]

$username = $_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"]

Se more in the server-varriables:

Hello,

I am a (relatively) newbie to PHP - and am wondering how to use PHP (?) to
get the name of the user logged on to 'my' https:// site.

IT set up the site via SSL and using active directory's users (i.e., IIS and
Windoze...) for the logon.

Every staff member can logon with their own Windoze network credentials,
which is pretty slick as I let the network admin take care of permissions,
passwords, etc through Windows Server.

Web users with limited permissions have and can be added by IT as well, with
my input on permission levels.

Anyway... the user has the ability to write some stuff back to a PostgreSQL
database and I would like to keep track of who is logged on that session so
I can append their username into the "change log" of the database - *but how
do I get the username?*"

(Note that I could potentially see myself integrating (sic) Windows User
Permissions for each user to differentiate their 'allowable' web page
functionality - but that is in the medium to far future I think...)

I have been exploring LDAP - but it seems like a hammer-and-walnut approach,
at least to my untrained eye.

I started looking at $_SESSION as well... that is enough to do your head in
if you are not used to it, like I am not!   <grin>

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Cheers....
