After server-upgrade from windows NT4 to windows 2000 the $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"] var is empty.

Aug 6th, 2003 09:27
Rob Jansen,


Just found out that in windows2000 server, IIS 5 uses it's default 
setting to enable anonymous access when upgrading from NT4 to 
windows2000 server. After disableing anonymous access all $_SERVER 
variables which have something to do with authentication where filled 
again. After this problem I still had some trouble with ordinary users 
not being able to access script that use an ODBC-driver and had to 
give them some extra rights. 
Rob.
