Request.Servervariables help needed

[Newsgroup_User]

Hi,

I'm using the following code to reutrn the username of an authenticated
user:

<%=Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")%>

The value this is returned is in the format domain\username

How can I change this so that it just returns the username and not the
domain?

Thanks,

Mintyman

P.S. I'm using ASP on IIS 6.0

You can't, as the domain is an integral part of identifying a user properly.
You can use Split, or a combination of Right and InStr to get just the user
name portion afterward, but the server variable will always have both.
