[jtoland]

Hi Guys

i am wondering if any of you know how to show the username in php of a logged on computer user

this is for a intranet system i am working on so students/staff dont have to login to the system when they are in the school and automaticaly brings there infomation up depending what there username is

if ($_SERVER["AUTH_USER"] != ""){

$temp = explode("\\",$_SERVER["AUTH_USER"]);

echo $temp[1];

}

 

If your running php on a windows box, this will work as long as you have intergrated authentication enabled on the webfolder.

thanks

but i am running the server on linux and its not located in the school i was wondering if there was a way to remotely grab the infomation when a user visits the site

You can't. It would be a gross information disclosure vulnerability if you could.

Someone has built for Apache a NTLM module which can grab the username, Google for Apache NTLM
