- Microsoft Internet Information Server 5.0
This article was previously published under Q297486 SYMPTOMS
When you use Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.0 and Active Directory client certificate mapping, the authenticated user is displayed in the server variables list as < SERVERNAME>\< loggedonuser> instead of < DOMAINNAME>\< loggedonuser>.
You can use the following Active Server Pages (ASP) page to generate the related server variables output:
<%
response.write request.servervariables ("AUTH_USER") & "<BR>"
response.write request.servervariables ("LOGON_USER") & "<BR>"
response.write request.servervariables ("REMOTE_USER") & "<BR>"
response.write "HELLO" & "<BR>"
%>
