LDAP Authentication with LabVIEW NXG Web Server

[piano333]

I don't know how to setup LDAP Authentication on NI Web Server, but it looks like a painful process that will take time considering how much IT interfacing I'll have to do in order to make it work.  Once I finally am successful, however, is there a way from either the NXG Web Page, or the LabVIEW Web Services to see what user connected using the LDAP connection?  The entire point of this exercise will be wasted if I can't figure out what user has logged in.  I can't find information anywhere about how to find the currently logged in user, nor what the user will see once LDAP is enabled.  Will they have some kind of pop up dialog that automatically happens when they try to access the web page?  Will my NXG Web Page somehow magically get that info?

I can see in the NI Help document HOW to enable LDAP.  What I'm looking for is some example code or screenshots of what it will look like once I've managed to do that.  I'd hate to waste a ton of time setting it up only to find out it doesn't give me what I want/need.

From what I get about LDAP (java - How to get current login user information in LDAP - Stack Overflow) the LDAP design doesn't make this easy in any language... In fact the general idea seems (to me) to keep LDAP users anonymous. Could be wrong, but you might be rowing upstream here.

I don't think you have to run WebVIs from NI's web server. If that's too hard, you should be able to use your web server of choice.
