Passing client machine id/token field to server side web app

Question

User1584574419 posted

hi,

I have an web app in the cloud but my client PCs/browsers are on a separate domain. My problem is that although I can have a user logon and get the user

identity, I also need to know the local machine/PC identity or some kind of unique 'token' that identifies the machine.

Question: how can I send this unique token to the server side on the initial login page?

Can I get the client  PC MAC address at the server side ? Or some kind of unique client PC environment variable which I can set on the PC?

Any thoughts?

The MAC address is not passed outside the local network.

Not that I know of.  Browser's are a sandbox and do not freely pass machine information to web servers.  Maybe build a browser plugin.
