or even easier, if apache is setup for SSI, you can just plunk this into your web page where you want the authenticated username: <!--#echo var="REMOTE_USER"--> Ken Alan DeKok wrote:

I am developing a web system that authenticates users to a web site through free radius using the mod_auth_radius module for apache. It all works fine, but I would like to get the username of the user that has authenticated for use on pages once they have authenticated.
It's in the HTTP headers. The username & password are sent in every request.
I am not sure how to go about this. I guess that the values are set in a cookie or in the HTTP Headers by mod_auth_radius? Does anyone know a way I could retrieve the values, either through HTML or PHP?
Not HTML. Maybe PHP, if it allows you to get HTTP headers. See the module source code for where the headers are, and the PHP docs for how to get at them.
