No, It doesn't get passed in HTTP headers. But you
might like using remote IP address, thats in HTTP
headers. You can write down some code in your web
application that can fetch you windows login of remote
machine. Probably you can pickup some open source SSO
implementation to get an idea.

Many Thanks,
