Q.
I would like to know how to get the username from an eDirectory user in order to show it on an ASP page for our Intranet site. The standard ways like
Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")
or
Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_USER")
is just getting blanks.

If you want to use the Novell ActiveX control there's a sample whoami at http://developer.novell.com/support/sample/tids/aspactx/aspactx.htm
You can only use this from a client side ASP since a serverside ASP doesn't have access to client state information as it runs from the service space.
If you want to make DLL calls directly (you are writing your own control), theres a VB WhoAmI sample at http://developer.novell.com/support/sample/tids/vbwhoami/vbwhoami.htm
