Javascript or HTML to retrieve apache username

I have a internal wesbite set up and any visitor must enter username / passwd as defined in apache (I've set these up using htpasswd)

I use cgi scripts set up using ksh or javascript to populate pages / tables etc.

I want to be able to get the apache username that the used authorised themselves with, so I can display this on the webpage. ie. something like "You are logged in as xxxx"

Can I get this username using HTML, Javascript or something else?


Server version: Apache/1.3.31 (Unix)

Why does "ps -[u|U] username" not list processes when username is numeric?

Greetings, The title pretty much says it all. I've snooped everywhere and can't find anything on this. Since our organization went to numeric usernames, using the u|U option for ps returns no processes. Example passwd entry: 320074:DjZAJKXun8HBs:10129:6006:Joe Y:/cadhome/analysis/jy:/bin/bash...
