Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Windows login
Hi everyone. I've posted this question on the PHP-forum but it's clear to me now that it doesn't belong there.
I need a way to get the Windows login name on a webpage. With that, I mean the client PC login name.
I would also like it to be as platform-independent (NT,2000,XP,2003...) as possible.
Can anyone help me out?

If there is a way for a web page to know the windows login of a visitor, that would seem to me to be a rather glaring security hole.

It's just that I want to design an intranet application that automatically logs in users in MySQL with their Windows Login name. But I guess it's not possible.
Too bad.
Thanks for the FB NogDog

That's not exactly "platform independent" since those are all Windows. I assume you're running IIS. Turn on Basic Auth against the company domain and with NT Challenge the users will be auto logged in as their network ID.
