Authentication with windows domain username

[AmazingTrans]

Hi there,

I am using a PHP server side script, along with Zend framework.

I am planning to work on a work-order form where one user will enter all orders information and then once it is done and click submit. The form will generate a link to the manager email. He will then click on the link and there he will have to click on a checkbox and the form will also authenticate with his windows login username or his MS Outlook username & password. And then once this form is authenticated true, the Sales person will receive the form and will continue with order.

My question here is how do i retrieve what is the manager current widows login name, or whether his MS Outlook username & Password is true? Or is there any method that anybody knows?

Thanks.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld AmazingTrans,

I'm not sure how you would gain access to that, the browser definitely shouldn't be able to.

did you find any hints searching around?

Hi there,

I think prolly I will have to go with ASP.NET. or maybe I will have to extract from the email server. Any ideas anybody?

If you're looking at a windows domain controller, see if there's an LDAP server available somewhere on the network. PHP can communicate with LDAP servers in a variety of ways--check the PHP website for documentation on its LDAP functions.
