SYMPTOMS
When you use Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.0 and Active Directory client certificate mapping, the authenticated user is displayed in the server variables list as \ instead of \.

You can use the following Active Server Pages (ASP) page to generate the related server variables output: <% response.write request.servervariables (&quot;AUTH_USER&quot;) & &quot;&quot; response.write request.servervariables (&quot;LOGON_USER&quot;) & &quot;&quot; response.write request.servervariables (&quot;REMOTE_USER&quot;) & &quot;&quot; response.write &quot;HELLO&quot; & &quot;&quot; %>
