USERNAME - 7/29/2005 17:22:32
Hi Everyone:
I need to insert the Active Directory username into a web page. Can anyone tell me how to do that ? The page(s) are .asp but the username doesn't have to be in the form section on those pages. The webserver is 2003 but everything else (AD) is on a 2000 server.
Thanks,
Mike

insert the Active Directory username assuming they are signed into your network with their Active Directory username, does that in anyway relate to how they access the net? am I even correct in that you are talking about wind NT's Active Directory directory services? like Novell's NDS ( network Directory Services)?

No. They want to pull in the login/username from AD automatically. So that the user logged in is automatically identified when they access the form page. No actual login or password for them to do. I know that when you submit a form to Access Db that the user_name is one of the automatic fields that you can have in your database so it must be getting that from AD. Just can't figure out how to have it populate a field or text area in the actual page or form field. They want to identify the user filling out the form automatically.
Thanks,
Mike

I'm not an asper but is this the sort of thing you're trying to do?
quote:
For starters, we'll be using VBScript as our server-side processing language. This is declared at the top of the page. Next, we'll build a simple Web form containing three main elements: (1) a textbox to hold the username, (2) a password box to hold the value of the password, and (3) a submission button to process the form. Note how we use the value of <input type="password"> for the password box to ensure that anything entered into it isn't readable, being displayed as a series of stars. Next, we include some server-side processing…and this is where the real fun begins. Within the Value attribute of the textbox for the Username, we include the statement <%= Request("USERNAME") %>. This will be used to automatically insert the Username value the user enters if the page fails authentication, to save time.

RE: USERNAME - 8/1/2005 15:11:03
Hey there...
I had to do something similar on my network. What i ended up doing was turning off anonymous web browsing and giving rights only to authenticated users on the network.
You can then do something like this
<%=request.servervariables(" LOGON_USER" )%> to show user name
if you want to strip off the domain do this
Right(Request.Servervariables("Logon_User"),8)
8 being the amount of characters your domain name is.
Hope that helped

Remember that you need to turn on Integrated Authentication and turn off Anonymous Access for that to work most times. This is the code I normally use:
<%
MyVar=request.servervariables("logon_user")
MyVar=MyVar & ""
MyPos = InstrRev(MyVar, "/", -1, 1)
UserName=Mid(MyVar,MyPos+1,Len(MyVar))
' Response.write(UserName & "<br>")
IF trim(UserName) & "" = "" THEN
Response.write("Error in Validate User routine")
ELSE
'Do page Stuff
END IF%>

Didn't see that before I posted but that is frequently the problem that a lot of users have with that script.

RE: USERNAME - 8/2/2005 17:48:34
That worked pretty good. i get domain\username....
I had to use AUTH_USER though vs. LOGON_USER.
Stripping the domain didn't work....
per:
+++++++++
if you want to strip off the domain do this
Right(Request.Servervariables("Logon_User"),8)
+++++++++

MyVar=MyVar & ""
MyPos = InstrRev(MyVar, "/", -1, 1)
UserName=Mid(MyVar,MyPos+1,Len(MyVar))

It depends on how you're grabbing the variable. Can you post what you're currently using?

RE: USERNAME - 8/3/2005 11:49:18
This is the basic way I am grabbing it. Now that I have it working in a form field, I am not sure if anything but a one liner will work.
Thanks
<%=request.servervariables("INSERT VARIABLE" )%>

Are you using logon_user ?

RE: USERNAME - 8/3/2005 11:55:48
I think I may have had the slash wrong for that script. Does this one work better?
<%
DIM myUserName
MyVar=request.servervariables("logon_user")
MyVar=MyVar & ""
MyPos = InstrRev(MyVar, "\", -1, 1)
myUserName=Mid(MyVar,MyPos+1,Len(MyVar))
Response.write(myUserName & "<br>")
%>
If so, put that at the top of your page, comment out the Response.write line, and use this in your form field:
value="<%=myUserName%>"
That any better?
