user authentication 'AUTH_USER'
with php i can user the php server variable AUTH_USER which will report back the 'domain\user' of the requesting user. I can use this to send the 'authenicated'(qwithout signing into anything) custom webpages, etc.
Now how would this work if java/tomcat is on another server. is there a way to report back what the windows domain\username is of the person requesting the page?
not sure what authenication options i have.
Thanks. at worst ill send a url parameter from php to jsp and jsp can use this to serve custom info, but this can be modified by user to mess me up ;) so i want something more secure.
