RE: Grabbing username account from Windows login screen
what if your webserver is not in the same domain as your users PC? On the other end, your webserver needs full acces to the AD, correct?

RE: Grabbing username account from Windows login screen
ok...but whats weird is I UNCHECKED the Anonymous access and CHECKED the Integrated Windows authentication and when I go the the website I still get prompted for a username/password via NT authentication.

RE: Grabbing username account from Windows login screen
Assuming you use IE (as Integrated Windows Authentication (AFAIK) only works on IE) then IE will try to send your currently logged in username and password to the server.If the server doesnt find a match for this then it sends back to the browser a login failure which then prompts IE to prompt the user for their details. Does the webserver have details about you in the PDC or in its user db?

By itself, this will not allow IE to automatically send your domain login to the web server. IE itself needs to be configured to allow this. IE has several zones, and typically you'd place your site within the intranet zone, and configure IE to automatically use your Windows login for authentication with that zone.

re: Grabbing username account from Windows login screen
Hi, To access my app I have the user authenticate using windows authentication. I then pass the username to my application via cfset auth = listLast(#CGI.AUTH_USER#, \) Now the server has been put on our domain. Rather than have the windows authentication I would prefer to grab the username used when logging in to the domain. How can I grab this username?

RE: Grabbing username account from Windows login screen
IIRC, the client machine has to be a member of this domain your server is in.I recall my LAN folks setting user to be able to login to other domains when logging into their machines.
