Hi Sejo,
I am not sure whether my suggestios is what u need, but u may give it a try.
Every http based transaction has a structure called basic authentication
which is implemented by every web server and web browser suitably. For eg,
in Apache we have the .htaccess file concept. In NT there would be
something similar. When somebody access such protected dir/files then a
login window is thrown by the browser. what ever is entered is sent to the
server in a certain way and checked by the server. When u try the method u
have mentioned below, it is this 'user' you will get. With my knowledge
base, It is not possible to get (and one should not get) the 'Login' of the
current session of the NT machine. If such an Api exists that is a
cake-walk for a hacker to make the NT server (where the webserver runs) go
crash.
HTH.
