PRB: Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") Returns Empty String
This article was previously published under Q188717
Accessing the Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") variable from Active
Server Pages (ASP) returns an empty string.
The LOGON_USER variable is not populated if you use the Allow Anonymous security to access the ASP page.
In order for the LOGON_USER variable to be populated, the user must be
authenticated using either Basic or NT Challenge/Response security.
This behavior is by design.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Active Server Pages 2.0
- Microsoft Active Server Pages 3.0
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
- Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.0

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
