Active Directory Autnetication to use username in application? - alexandervj - 04-20-2015

Is there a way to use Windows Active Directory Autheitcation to get the username of the user thats accessing a CodeIgniter web application?

I have a small database that tracks user changes, etc. and would like to make it have as few logins as possible. Thanks for your help

Thanks mwhitney! That looks helpful. I'll try to implement that and post how it goes here
