How to get Network ID from LAN

SaudiOnMoon · Jul 7, 2003

Hi guys.. this is my 1st thread

I work in LAN environemtn and I need a function or code to get Network Login ID for rhe user to be able to compare it with permissions.

for example, VB.NET use:
Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")

Any can help?

I think you need to use...

getenv('REMOTE_USER');

I tried that but it didn't show anything!

How are your user's logging in?

Are you using .htaccess and .htpasswd?

no, what I am looking for is to get only the Netwoek ID since it is already Authenticated by Windows server.

I'm not sure that you can do that with PHP....

as I said:
VB.BET use this built function
Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")

and if PHP can't do it.. it is a major disadvantage.

Ok can I use VB script in PHP pages?

If you create a blank page with just the following text on, and then view it, it'll show you all the variables that are available to PHP....


<?
phpinfo();
?>

Thanks for the advice, I did it but couldn't find my Network ID in any line in the result.

Does this mean it is not possible to get the ID using PHP?

I don't think so..... It's a massive security risk being able to obtain that information through a web page anyway.....
