ASP Server variable AUTH_PASSWORD is empty

Asked by stm2009 in Active Server Pages (ASP), Microsoft IIS Web Server

Tags: ASP Server variable

Hi Experts,

For a new web application development, I need to get server variable AUTH_PASSWORD from an ASP page. The web site hosting this application is using Basic Authentication, and the server is W2K3 and everything is fine.

When I move the page to another W2K3 server with Sharepoint 2007 installed (also using Basic Authentication), I found that the AUTH_PASSWORD returned is an empty string.

I try to search for solution from the web, but the only suggestion is that it works for Basic authentication only, which I'm using already!

Could someone help me to solve this problem!!!???

/* Success */
Authorization: Basic aXRddG1yyOlBh3M4ODg4

/* Fail */
Authorization: Basic

Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_PASSWORD")
