I am attempting to discover the remote user for an INTRAnet site, but cannot see how to do this cleanly. I believe all I need is the user ID that logged in; when they log into their worksatation, that is good enough for this intranet set, and I am willing to believe who they say they are. I would like them to be automatically logged into the site using their ID. But the problem comes when I try to get the remote user ID. I realize that I can use something like mod_auth_sspi, but that authenticates against the web server, which in this case is in the DMZ and ignorant of all other users. Modules for Perl exist for this exact purpsose, but because of my environment (100% Windows save the Apache webserver), I cannot get them to work, either. I saw a brilliant hack that dug the user name out of NetBios in PHP, but naturally, NetBios is turned off. It seems that no matter what direction I go, the door is closed. What is really frustrating is that it IIS does this out of the box! Thank you for any pointers! david The environment is: Server: Apache/2.0.48 (Win32) mod_perl/1.99_12 Perl/v5.8.3 mod_ssl/2.0.48 OpenSSL/0.9.7c. Clients are Windows Workstations.
