Name: MHTML::REMOTE-IDENT

Section: Variables

Synopsis:

`mhtml::remote-ident`

Description:

The value of the environment variable `ENV::REMOTE_IDENT` as received by the server.

In the Meta-HTML server, you can turn on the feature of asking the connecting host for the username of the individual running the client browser by setting `MHTTPD::GET-REMOTE-IDENT`.

There is never any gaurantee that the client will allow the server to find this information out, so you should not write code which relies on the presence of this variable. However, if it is present, it can be useful to present a default value. For example:

       <when <not <get-var e-mail>>>
         <set-var e-mail = <get-var mhtml::remote-ident>>
       </when>
