question: current user #158

Open yosiasz opened 7 years ago

yosiasz commented 7 years ago

Greetings,

Users in our environment do not want to be prompted for a login so is there a way to find current user's username from app running on windows server? I have dreaded doing authentication but seems like might have to dive in. Thanks!

What type of application is it? If web based you'll need to add Windows Authentication to your app via SSPI

I am trying to authenticate/bind as the current system user rather than providing a dn/password. Not sure if that's the same thing @yosiasz was trying to figure out or not but I can't seem to get that working.

mine is an angularjs application and I went with this following npm modules express-ntlm https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-ntlm
