PHP5 and $_SERVER['AUTH_USER']

barand

I am trying to migrate an application running on MS server 2000 (php4) to MS server 2003 (php5)

The application is on an intranet and relies on being able to get the username using $SERVER['LOGON_USER'] or $SERVER['AUTH_USER'].

I have run a test script on the new server to list all $_SERVER variables and the username ones no longer appear.

I also installed v5 on my WinXP PC and get the same result.

Is this a 'feature' with PHP5 and is there a workaround?

Solved.

It was an IIS issue. I had to to disallow anonymous access. One of those checkboxes hidden behind a button on security tab of the properties dialog.

However, where php4 returned "domain\username", php5 returns "domain\username"

Same exact php.ini? Sounds to me like your PHP5 install has magic_quotes disabled, and your PHP4 didn't. This is all speculation, however 🙂

Yes, see my second post.

I'm still not sure if the "\" issue is php, iis, server OS as all were different versions. I just look for \ or \

But it doesn't help because I use Apache instead of IIS. Does anyone knows
how it is done with Apache?

I found this via Google

I forgot also tell you that Apache 2.2.6 and php5 are running under Windows XP.
Does how this is done under Windows?

Did you visit the link and read the information? There's a link for a Windows module.
