Old ASP Windows User Identity

[Alex Maghen]

Is there a way in ASP (3.0, not .NET) for me to determine
who the current windows users is (i.e. the user who was
authenticated and who is "running" this IIS session)?

Turn off anonymous access and use request.servervariables("logon_user")

With Basic Authentication, Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER") should
contain the name of the authenticated user.
With NT Challenge/Response, it's Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")
