Hello,
I am a (relatively) newbie to PHP – and am wondering how to get the name of the user logged on to 'my' https:// site via PHP.
IT set up the site via SSL and using active directory’s users (i.e., IIS and Windoze…) for the logon.
Every staff member can logon with their own Windoze network credentials, which is pretty slick as I let the network admin take care of permissions, passwords, etc through Windows Server.
Web users with limited permissions have and can be added by IT as well, with my input on permission levels.
Anyway… the user has the ability to write some stuff back to a PostgreSQL database and I would like to keep track of who is logged on that session so I can append their username into the “change log” of the database - *but how do I get the username?*”
(Note that I could potentially see myself integrating (sic) Windows User Permissions for each user to differentiate their ‘allowable’ web page functionality – but that is in the medium to far future I think…)
I have been exploring LDAP – but it seems like a hammer-and-walnut approach, at least to my untrained eye.
Any suggestions gratefully received!
Cheers….
