Username for anonymous user?

Hi

We have a web server that should be accessible to everyone in our group, but inaccessible to everyone else in the company. The problem is, the server is hosted 3 time zones away, and all changes take a lot of time to implement.

Currently, we are writing ASP.NET appliations to run on the server, and access is anonymous and therefore anyone could run the applications. What we would like to do is to validate the users against a database table held on the server which holds their user ID. Everyone in our group is part of the same domain, so if we stripped the domain name from the user id we could compare to the values in the database table.

How can I get the user id of an anonymous user of the web server? Is this possible?

Thanks

You can only get the user name if you are using windows authentication.

Otherwise you will have to create a form and have your users log in each time manually.
