How to make coldfusion identify my ID in network?

There is some information on this in chapter 8 of the book "Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Application Development" by Ben Forta.

Yes it is possible we do it all the time.

<cfldap action="query"
server="#variables.ldapConfig.server#"
name="qUser"
start="#variables.ldapConfig.start#"
filter="samaccountname=#arguments.userName#"
username="#variables.ldapConfig.domain#\variables.ldapConfig.user#"
password="#variables.ldapConfig.password#"
attributes = "#variables.ldapConfig.attributes#">


If you combine this with 'Windows Integrated Security' In the Windows
Web Server, then users connect through a Windows Network using a Windows
Browser on a Windows Client the domain and user name can be collected
through the cgi.auth_user parameter.

This will depend on how your web server is configured. If you are requiring integrated or basic authentication in IIS with active directory then the username will be populated as the cgi.auth_user variable in ColdFusion.
