Answer
Hi

If you use Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") there could be 2 thing you need to look for


1. The LOGON_USER variable is not populated if you use the Allow Anonymous security to access the ASP page.

2. In order for the LOGON_USER variable to be populated, the user must be authenticated using either Basic or NT Challenge/Response security.


Hope this helps!!
