This is not accurate, the Windows logon name is passed to servers by
several browsers (not just IE) when servers ask for Windows NTLM
authentication.

You just need to configure your Web server to require Windows
authentication, and you get the current logged user logon name using
GetEnv('LOGON_USER'); .

Forget Javascript, it would never work.


And which browsers are these? I want to ensure they are never installed on my system. Such operation would be a tremendous breach of security.
