Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Advanced Techniques / February 2008Can LDAP return your windows NT username?
I'm trying to get my NT username to automatically display, and ultimately, avoid duplicate login screens for each app. I just want to return the username, without the user having to do anything. Is this possible? Thanks. > I'm trying to get my NT username to automatically display, and ultimately, > avoid duplicate login screens for each app. I just want to return the > username, without the user having to do anything.

But you do need some unique identifier, such as samAccountName, to get the individual record to get its samAccountName user name. If you want to do use identification behind the scenes without the human user providing their identification through some type of form. This can be done. Provide your application is running on a Windows Server, using a Windows Web Server connecting to a user over a Windows Network Domain who has a Windows OS and is using a Windows Browser. Then you can set the website to use 'Windows Integrated Security' which will populate the 'cgi.auth_user' variable with the user name that the user used to login to the domain. You can this use this value to grab the user's Active Directory LDAP record. Thank you. That is exactly what I was looking for. |
