Getting user name from Mojo Cookie?

Hi Joe,

On the INTRAnet I have LDAP enabled to authenticate the staff in my company.

I have a seperate web application done in asp.net which used to read the request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER") after the user has logged in to Mojo and then allow/disallow certain options.

I recently upgraded to a new server running Windows 2008 R2 and IIS 7 and MS SQL 2008 with Mojo 2.3.8.5 MSSQL

Now that web app returns the AUTH_USER as blank. The old IIS server was set to Anonymous Authentication and Integrated Windows Authentication and so I did the same for the new server too. On the old server the app works fine, returning the logged in user in the AUTH_USER variable. But on the new server this is not the case.

Is there a way I can get the logged in users name by reading any Mojo variables or cookies to make this app work instead?

best regards,

Dominique

Re: Getting user name from Mojo Cookie?

I think your app would have to run in the same application context as mojoPortal to read its cookies.

if(Request.IsAuthenticated)
{

string userName = Context.User.Identity.Name;

}

If you add this in user.config:

it enables a tool in mojoPortal to see all the server variables under Administration > Advanced Tools > Developer Tools > Server Variables

However depending on configuration what you see there may not be the same as what you will see in your custom app.
