yes Marco, that is the user i am trying to retrieve. If it's not possible to get with apache/mod_python then its back to IIS i go :) Thanks guys Date: Sun, 9 Dec 2007 12:55:01 +0000 From: mlopes at orangeway.org To: graham.dumpleton at gmail.com Subject: Re: [mod_python] getting Windows username (REMOTE_USER) CC: drunkirishmic420 at hotmail.com; mod_python at modpython.org I'm guessing you're both talking about different things. I'm new to mod_python but I'd say req.user is the HTTP user, the user given when the user is prompt for authentication by apache. The "user" Brett is asking about is the username of the user logged in a remote windows machine, wich I'd say he'd never be able to get cause the client will never send it to the server side for security and privacy reasons.

If it isn't being set, then the URL isn't being authenticated or the authentication handler isn't compliant and doing what is expected of an Apache authentication handler. What is the actual authentication handler you are using? What handler phase are you trying to access this attribute? Please use reply-all to keep discussion on the mailing list.
