integrated auth with IIS5, PHP4

Anon

Hello, all!

I am stumped on this one.

I'm running Win2k w/ IIS 5.0 and have the ISAPI version of PHP running. The need is to send HTTP header info (network user/pass combo, or even just user) for use with the script while using Windows-Integrated Authentication (I'm trying to create a db connection string where $user and $pass are assigned the $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW environment variables).

Some pages I've seen say this cannot be done, that you can only get the http header info into a script using Basic Authentication. Other pages seem to indicate that it is possible. Does anyone have any experience wrestling with this sort of thing? Thanks in advance for any help...!

You can get the NT authentication, it will just be a little more painful than if you were running Apache.

Firstly, try the REMOTE_USER variable. That should have the authenticated user name (NT ACL's).

If that doesn't work, try the ALL_RAW variable. This will retrieve all of the raw HTTP headers. You'll see a string like this:

Authorization: Basic ...blah...

That's the "username:password" combo in base64. You just need to strip it and unbase64 it to get the full username and password.

Hope that helps. Dave
