get weindows login

[knowram]

Is there anyway to get the username that is currently logged into a computer while visiting a page?

 

Thanks for the help

if you are on a windoze network

 

<?php
$domuser = $_SERVER['LOGON_USER'];                       //--> domain\username (or domain\\username)
list ($domain, $username) = explode ("\\", $domuser);
?>

 

With some versions you may need explode ("\\\\", $domuser)

I tried just printing the $_Server['LOGON_USER'] variable and then printing the whole $_SERVER array and nothing comes up for the LOGON_USER entry.

 

Any idea what could be causing this.

Are you testing this on a local windows network? Or trying to do it over the web? The later will not work.

You should have  a look at this...

 

<?php
$nw = new COM("WScript.Network");
print "username0: " . $nw->username . "<br><br>";

$computername = $nw->computername;
print "computername: $computername<br>";
$owmi = new COM("winmgmts:\\\\$computername\\root\\cimv2");
$comp = $owmi->get("win32_computersystem.name='$computername'");
print "username: " . $comp->username;
?>

 

Hope it helps.

WScript is commonly disabled as its a secuirty risk

[AbydosGater]

Yes but if its that important to him im sure he could get it enabled.

Hrm, curious, do the above methods work for Active Directory users on a Domain?

[AbydosGater]

Marf: Yes, i have looked it up on google and from what i can tell. Yes it does work with Active Directory.

Hmm the WScript  worked but it gave me the wrong user name.

 

example:

I have a server on my network hosting this site which requires a login to associate some features with the individual that is using the site. I would like to be able to pull the user name of the person hitting the site so I can use that instead of having them go through a login page.

 

Any ideas??

 

Thanks

I forgot to mention, you have to disable anonymous login (at least if IIS is used - that's the only one I tried it with)

[knowram]

Well I have two servers on is A windows box running IIS and it dose have anonymous login enabled(which I can't disable) and a Mac os x box with apache running. On the IIS box it dose not give me anything for that value. On the apache box it doesn't even show that variable. I will try it on yet another server when I get home.
