How to obtain the NT login name from the client

I need to run some Java to obtain the client side user Login name to autosign him/her onto my application. The application is three tier and the java needs to run on the browser client. The clients maybe any win platform but all will have logged in to the main network using typical windows domain logins. I am a neophyte at this so if anyone has any sample code the help will be much appreciated.

I ran throught this a while back, I did not find a way to do what you are looking for smoothly. What I settled on was to collect information from the user and put it in an encrypted cookie. They only have to do it the first time they login and since they must login to the network to get to the applicaiton, then I know who they are when they are on.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I would like to look at the implementation of your solution. Do you have any sample code I can look at?
