my $q = CGI->new(); #my $UserID = $ENV{"REMOTE_USER"}; my $UserID = $q->remote_user(); print $q->header(); if($UserID){ print "User:<b>$UserID</b>"; }

    It works for me (with shebang) on IE and Firefox.

    Smells like Apache2-AuthenNTLM

      This is the module apache is using. Are you using this? If not can I get this to work without using this?

        No.Perhaps you take a look at this for some further information.
