HI Folks,

Can anyone tell me how to pass the windows username in IIS to my coldfusion pages?

I have enabled Integrated Windows Authentication in IIS, but #cgi.AUTH_USER# remains empty.

Thanks in advance

    Yeah. I, too, am guessing that Annonymous Login is still checked. Note that permissions can be set all the way to the file level, so make sure the directory and file in question are set with the same settings.

    Windows Client OS?

    Windows Client Browser?

    Windows Network Domain?

    Windows Web Server?

    There is a reason it is called "Integrated Windows Authentication". If
    it is not Windows top to bottom, it may not work as desired.

    All I can tell you is that should have worked. Unless you left
    "Anonymous Login" checked. If Anonymous is also checked, it takes
    precedence over any other option that may be checked.
