Retreive windows Logged in UserName and PasswordHi,
I have an application in VB.NET windows application, wherein the administrator has the option to change the authentication mode ie., whether the application should work as a normal database authentication or the windows based authentication mode. If the administrator sets the application authentication mode to windows based, then the application has to verify the windows logged in username and password and then allow the user to use the application. I am not able to retreive the windows logged in UserName and Password in VB.NET. In VB 6.0, I am able to retreive the windows logged in UserName but not the password. Can anyone help me in this. Thanks Sudhakara.T.P. Hi,
To know the user you can use System.Environment.UserName. You can´t get the password of the user for obvious reasons, but there are APIs (not sure if managed APIs) to try to logon a user in a domain or to get if the user is logged in a domain.
