varUser drops first character when using active directory account

[Greg Buckley]

I have come across an interesting problem. Let me first state that I
am not a fluent ASP programmer. I am a network engineering trying to
port an existing app. The app in question is currently running on IIS
5.0 (2Kserver) in a NT 4.0 domain. I am moving it to an IIS 6.0 server
in a 2003 Active Directory domain.

My app calls this variable <%= varUser %> and brings the users login
name to the web page as well as using it to pull data specfic to that
user in other parts of the web page. When logging in as a NT 4.0
domain user all is fine. When logging as an Active Directory user is
drops the first character of the user name example "ser" instead of
"user". Any ideas?

You need to find the part where varUser is assigned. Something in there is
not right.

Any chance you can isolate the line(s) of ASP code where varUser is
populated / manipulated? You can use Visual Studio or other editors to do a
find in files to figure out which ASP file(s) use this value...

We can't really guess what's going on if we can't see the code, just like
your mechanic can't diagnose your engine problem very well if you don't
bring your car...
