RE: [PHP-WIN] Remote UserName

Hmm - the problem that I'm having is that I want this interaction to be invisible to the end user. I don't want them to be presented with a login dialog since I _should_ (somehow) be able to identify them by the id they presented to the proxy with which I can verify whether they should have rights or not. All of the "ENV" vars seem to refer to the local instance of the app on my machine - referring to any of these from a remote connection, just reports my userid on these forms, not the userid of the remote user... when I get someone else to hit the page - all the "ENV" and "SERVER" variables are reporting my userid information (where I'm logged in) not the info of the client browser...
