$_SERVER['LOGON_USER''] not working, whats gone wrong???

[saltious]

Hi All.

i am trying to use $_SERVER['LOGON_USER'']; for an intranet within a domain.

i am using active directory.

in IIS 6 i have removed annonymous login and and checked integrated windows authetication. thats all i have checked in that window.

if i remove this check box.... so that no check box is ticked at all then rightly so i cannot access the virtual directory pages at all. when i recheck it i can. so it seems the authentication is working. however, i can not get the login name to display.

heres the code i used in a file called test.html

<?php

$dave = $_SERVER['LOGON_USER''];

echo $dave;

?>

can anyone shed any light at all as to why this doesn't display?

thanks in advance.... especially if ive been really stupid.

Are you sure that's the exact code you have? If so, then I'd say the first reason it's not working is that you have a parse error. :p

At any rate, I hopped on my school's IIS server and it worked fine for me; I went in "Authentication and access control", unchecked Enable anonymous access at the top, made sure Integrated Windows authentication was checked and that the other three boxes were unchecked. When I did that, I got these values in the $_SERVER array:

    [AUTH_TYPE] => Negotiate
    [AUTH_USER] => MATRIX\administrator
    [REMOTE_USER] => MATRIX\administrator
    [LOGON_USER] => MATRIX\administrator
[HTTP_AUTHORIZATION] => Negotiate TlRMTVNTUAADA...
