<quote> If they are logging in to the network, you may be able to capture the cgi variables. We do this but have only tried it with IE.. I'm guessing its still there with FF as well. The cgi are REMOTE_USER and AUTH_USER </quote>
Yes, they are there because CGI variables come from the web server not the web browser. So it is IIS or Apache or whatever you are using that determines the CGI variables. With IIS if one uses windows integrated security and turns off anonymous logon, then IIS will populate cgi.Auth_User with the domain/username of the person logged onto the client machine. IIS does this by sending a specific request to the browser for these details. Internet Explore can respond to this request silently, but Firefox has to request these details with a dialog box. Interestingly, Mozella -which has both IE and FF engines under the hood - can also silently respond to these requests. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
