UserName from web page

I'm new to web programming and need to auto-login users
to my VB.NET intranet app. The way I have in mind is to
get their user name from environment.username and use
that.
Problem is that if I try in a Web Form, I generally
get "ASPNET" as the username because it executes on the
server. How can I get the user's 'UserName' from the
client and have it available for my app?

This is OT for this group. You would probably have better luck asking your
question in:
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
