Re: Can ASP determine user's SharePoint Login ID?

I don't know why Kevin Spencer is so single minded on this issue because its
correct that ASP can not be used to grab the UserID "directly" but if you
have access to the SharePoint WebPart that does the form validation (which
you confirm you do) the use of ASP.NET can be used to capture and hand-off
the values involved to an ASP application "indirectly." You need ASP.NET
code to grab the values during the login and write to a temporary table or
an XML file where the ASP application can pick it up and do something with
it.

This can also pose a security risk by exposing a user's ID but on an
Intranet the risks are easier to minimalize. What approach to use is
philosophical at the moment. It seems your planning to migrate your ASP
applications to ASP.NET anyway so why not just wait or get busy on the
migration now?

In any event, I have SharePoint on a disk that I haven't had installed for
over 6 months as I've downsized from Windows Server 2003 to XP Pro for the
ASP.NET development I'm involved with (for the time being) and I could not
answer any further questions regarding the specific implementation which
would best be discussed in the SharePoint newsgroup

Ok. We will be upgrading to .NET very soon. How do I go about it with
ASP.NET?

Actually, the answer is yes -- indirectly -- which does not contradict
Kevin's response because doing so depends on a couple of fundamental
factors, the first of which depends on whether SharePoint is being
hosted
so a web developer can access the SharePoint WebPart controls and the
second whether you have a healthy bank account to make it happen.

I have SharePoint handling logins to a secured subweb. Is there a way
to
determine in ASP what ID the user has logged in with?

(I'm using ASP - not .NET)
