convert windows username to lower case & remove domain name Monday, November 21, 2011 5:50 AM (permalink)

Hi I am a little new to VBscript
Can anyone help me? I have a small set of code that gets the windows
user name & sets it into a URL. The URL then passes that to a browser
login & logs my users in (this already works). The small problem I am
having is I need to convert the username to Lower case & strip out the
doamin name, so that I end up with just the raw lowercase windows username.
This is what I have so far. I am sure its just my syntax as I have done this
before but it was a long time ago. Appreciate anyone who can help....
username=Lcase(Replace(Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER"), "DM_MONTYNT\", ""))

This is what I did:
<html>
<HEAD> <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="1; url=http://ykvmgs15:8080/arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?form=WS%3AOpenRequests&server=ykvmgs12&username=<%auth_user = Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER") username = LCase(Mid(auth_user, InStr(auth_user, "\")+1))%>"></HEAD>
<body>
</body>
</html>
this is what I got:

Unless the forum software mangled your code: I don't think this will work as you seem to think. I'm not an ASP guy, but VBScript statements are line-oriented, so you can't put two statements in the same line without at least putting a separator (":") between them. Try it like this:

<html>
<HEAD><meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="1; url=http://ykvmgs15:8080/arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?form=WS%3AOpenRequests&server=ykvmgs12&username=<%
auth_user = Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER")
username = LCase(Mid(auth_user, InStr(auth_user, "\")+1))
%>"></HEAD>
<body>
</body>
</html>
