Where did you place this code? In your application or within Apache or PHP?

    Oh wow this thread is OLD!
    I placed that in my application, it's just PHP code

      @: Given that the above is PHP code, I'm not sure how one would place it "within" Apache or PHP, so that should help narrow down the possible answers. 🙂

      Also note that a better solution (IMHO) would be to use something like mod_auth_sspi instead.

        bradgrafelman is correct - mod-auth-sspi is a better solution as my solution involved a little hacking. However, mod-auth-sspi didn't work in my environment.

            Out of curiosity, why is that? (Rather, in what way didn't it work in your environment?)

              This was too long ago for me to remember - I literally have no idea.

              The environment was in Santander Bank Head office actually, in the IT department.
              I was working as a IT Analyst and I knew my way around websites and php so I built our team a new portal / intranet.
              All I remember is doing alot of cussing trying to get mod-auth-sspi to work - I can't remember the exact reason.

                I guess I should have mentioned this PHP application is running on SUSE Linux and not Windows which the mod_auth_sspi appears to support.

                  True, I was assuming Windows was the target OS since that was true in the thread that you've hijacked. 😉

                  If you're on Linux, you might need to use something like mod_auth_ntlm_winbind as well as setting up a winbindd instance.

                    Hi Clarkeez,
                    I was looking for a way to get windows username from a php script running on linux server. I have tested your solution it works!
                    but in $data there are two records with type=3 the first is the username, the second is the device name, is there a way to identificate who is who?
                    Thanks

                    You may want to consider opening a new thread with the applicable code you are using and the specifics of what you need changed/fixed.
