    <p>You say that you are unable to install anything on the users' computers, but you may find that there is already an ActiveX control you can use which may have been involved as part of the Novell client on the PC.</p> <p>I have done this in the past, using the ActiveX control to identify the logged on user, pass that to the webserver, and then load the full user record using LDAP:</p> <p>I have used one referred to as NWDir1 in the past, using the following syntax (with ColdFusion as the server-side language, but I'm sure you could translate):</p> <pre><code> &lt;cfoutput&gt; &lt;object classid="CLSID:4F021AE3-9E98-11D0-A808-00C04FDCD94A"id="NWDir1" width=32 height=32&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;script language="VBScript"&gt; Dim vbuser Sub Window_OnLoad() On Error Resume next vbuser = NWDir1.LoginName vbuser = StrReverse(vbuser) initInd = InStr(vbuser, Chr(92)) if initInd &lt;&gt; 0 Then vbuser = Left(vbuser, initInd-1) vbuser = StrReverse(vbuser) End if // REDIRECTION document.location.href = "index.cfm?userid=" + vbuser Exit sub End Sub &lt;/script&gt; &lt;cfabort&gt; &lt;/cfoutput&gt; </code></pre> <p>This uses vbscript to control the activex client, which provides the novell logged in user. This value (vbuser) is then passed back to index.cfm where it can be processed.</p> <p>This technique is obviously susceptible to url hacking, but I'm not aware of that happening in the 4+ years we used this technique.</p> <p>I'm sure I found this on the Novell site originally - try a search for NWDir1 or the classid on that site.</p> <p>I hope this helps</p>
