No it is not possible. That sort of information is not transmitted over the HTTP protocol.

Well, you can grab the username logged in over NTLM or basic authentication if that's what you mean. Check the HTTP_AUTH_USER variable. The site has to require authentication for that information to be present, though.

But that isn't the Windows domain login, only the username for a protected area on the web server.

Besides, I fail to see why you would want to capture that such information anyway.
