How can I display the username of a user currently logged in to our web site?

Question

I am using ColdFusion 9.1.2.

Our intranet users are currently logging in to a workstation via Active Directory. I want our ColdFusion intranet page to display their Active Directory username.

Are there Active Directory variables available to ColdFusion? How do I access them?

If you have integrated authentication enabled in IIS, CGI.AUTH_USER will be set to the DOMAIN\username of the current user.

I haven't done it before, but this seems to be the answer.
