Login using Domain Login ID

[Lee Bright]

I'd like to get the Domain login ID to use to log into Dreamweaver
applications. I'd like to log the user into a Dreamweave application (based on
their Domain Login ID) without requiring the user to enter another user ID and
password. I don't want to use an environment variable as it would be to easy to
change the environment variable and wouldn't be secure enough. I'd like to
know if DreamWeave can provide me with the Domain User ID. I'd also like
information from users on how they avoid requiring their users to supply a
user ID and password for each application. I will not be using shared PC's
where multiple users work under the same login id. Will require users to log in
using their specific domain user id. Thanks, Lee:)

You need to set this restriction on your webserver, create a new application
in IIS, and require users to use their domain credentials to access the
application. You just have to turn off allow anonymous access. This does
however transmit domain username and passwords in clear text.

Not if you select "NT Challenge/Response" (aka "Integrated Windows
Authentication" depending on your version) as the authentication method.
The downside is that, at present, only IE can handle that authentication
method. Of course, if the users are having to be on the domain for the
site, something tells me browser choice is not a primary concern. :)

The user name is available in ASP from
Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER"). Don't know about the other
languages.
