Detect windows domain username in PHP

Question

Is there anyway, in PHP, to detect someone's username?

I want to track the users that visit and download particular files on our internal site?

Please tell us more about the setup of your "internal site" and the infrastructure. E.g. which webserver do you use? — VolkerK, Mar 20 '10 at 23:20

If you mean Active Directory authentication, and you're running Internet Explorer on the client end, this seems to be possible in some circumstances. See here.

Firefox supports integrated authentication, too. see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Integrated_Authentication – VolkerK Mar 20 '10 at 23:18

No, you can't read a visitor's Windows username.
