Hi Everyone,
I want develop the intranet site with seamless authentication. Is there
any way to capture only the user name who has logged in the windows
machine.
Iam using PHP 5.0 MySQL and IIS Server.
I have tried with $_SERVER['LOGON_USER'] but its returning nothing.
Please help me out.

This works for me under WinXP / Apache 2 (note that $nw->username is
not useful in this sense):

$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;

Thanks a lot :)
It Worked for me........

Hi Csaba,
The solution given by you works only on the server side....[In the
sense, the system which runs apache server]. To be clear lets say s1 is
server comp and u1 as the user of this server. s2 as the client comp
and u2 as the user of this comp.
When i ran the code on the comp u2 it returned me the system name as s1
and the user name as u1.I want it to return the user name of the system
where this php page is opened.
Please help me..

Of course.
Good that you give an example.

sense, the system which runs apache server]. To be clear lets say s1 is

and u2 as the user of this comp.

By what right should s1 have access to any knowledge of s2, or users
thereof? s1 gets only the information that s2 chooses to send, and
that is fairly minimal because of privacy concerns (ie. the IP address
and sometimes info about the operating system/browser). And you can
see this info using phpinfo() or in your server logs. The access to s2
of php that is running on s1 is zilch, unless you are leaving out a big
aspect of your situation.

In general, if you want to match up a client's request with a previous
request, set a cookie in the client's browser or use sessions.

Csaba , I got a solution.
Solution :
I have enabled DIGITAL AUTHENTICATION FOR WINDOWS DOMIAN Server and set
the Realm to the domain server in IIS.
Note:
You have to disable Anonymous access.

Now, Its possible to access the user name through
$_SERVER['LOGON_USER']
