Get current logged in Windows user name

Hi
Is it possible to retrieve the current logged in Windows user name into a text field automatically?
Thank you in advance for the help.

Hi,
This is a security issue and you will need a javascript file in the Acrobat folder. This will contain a trusted function allowing access to the login name.
Here is a thread that looked at this:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2198084#2198084
However read to the end, because if you are Reader Enabling the form (at least through Acrobat) then you may run into problems.
Good luck,
Niall

How to get Current Log in BO user name in data access driver

In universe, to get the current log in user is via @Variable('BOUSER').
Right now, I need to be able to get the user name in the data access driver. I am writing a customized data access driver because we need to patch some where clause on the the query generated by the universe based on the logged-in user info. I only think of using end_sql parameter or adding an universe level filter to patch the @Variable('BOUSER') to the query, which would not work if user want to use customized query.
Can anyone tell me how to get currentBO user name from connection server ? or how @Variable('BOUSER') is translated into the logged-in user name in the universe?

Shweta,
The link you provided was the Auditor guide for BO 6.x, I'm not sure it that is going to help Karen or not.
Karen,
There is function called connection
(usage: =connection([Query Name]), where [Query Name]
denotes the name of the tab for the query under Edit Query)
Here is some of the output from connection:
4;ODBC18;MS SQL Server 2000166; VERSION=7; USER=xxxxx;
PASSWORD=; DBTYPE=Relational; DATABASE=xxx_xxxx;
ODBC_USER=xxxxxx; ODBC_PASSWORD=; BO_DSN=xxxx_xxxx;
BO_DRV_CONNECT_MODE=0; 224; VERSION=6; Name=xxxxx; Shared=4;
LoginTimeout=600; Timeout=600; Pool Time=60; Array Fetch Size=10;
Array Bind Size=5; RecommendedLenTransfert=1000; Password_Encryption=x;
AliasTable=; MeasureDimension=; Hint=; ConnectInit=; ArrayFetch=1;
I'm not sure if this info helps out either, being that connection provides info on a post-processing basis and it sounds like you need to get out ahead of the SQL generation. The @variable('bouser') would seem like the place to be, however, in allowing custom SQL to take place you loose the bouser due to an individual could customize the SQL to the point that it gets unwantingly yanked out. The end_sql might be your answer...
Thanks,
John

I do not know your EJB Service. But you should pass the credentials of the current logged on portal user to your service. That's not by default I think.
I had a similar problem with CAF developed webservices. I had to turn on permission checks in my web service and passed the credentials via logon ticket.

Unable to get Windows User Name using Oracle Forms 6i, Jinitiator 1.3.1.17

Hi,
Requirement: Get Windows User Name using Oracle Web Forms 6i.
Tools Using: Windows NT, Oracle web forms 6i, Oracle 10g DB.
Description: I am using GetClientInfo JBean from otn.oracle.com, which gets windows user name, IP address and machine name. The demo I got from oracle web site uses Jinitiator version 1.1.7.18. While we are using the latest version Jinitiator 1.3.1.17. Due to this reason, I am unable to use Javakey which comes with older version but doesn't come with newer version, that's why I can't create the new JavaBean Java identity (PJC).
Please advise what to do. All environment variables are set everything is done, this is the only thing bothering me.
I went through the article 202768.1 from metalink, but on step 5, it gives an error keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Input not an X.509 Certificate.
Also, please let me know if there is any other workaround for this requirement.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Mo

Hi,
Thanks for your kind reply. Actually there was a problem in creating a certificate, now it is okay with the same method. Certificate got imported on client and everything is ready.
Now, the problem is when I try to set Bean Area Implementation Class property with oracle.forms.demos.GetClientInfo, it gives an error FRM-13008 Cannot find JavaBean with name 'oracle.forms.demos.GetClientInfo'.
I went through the articles 1072329.6, 196824.1, and set ClassPath and Path variables with proper values. Also, I have copied jar file and signature file in forms60/java folder. I don't see any problems. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. My limitation is that I have to do all this in forms6i.
I searched forums on metalink and found out that someone installed Patch 15, and everything went okay for him. Do you think I should install Patch 15? if YES, how will I do it, I mean should I first uninstall my forms and then install patch15 or install the patch on my forms?
Thanks so much for your help.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Mo

How to get Current Logged in user in Java

I just updated my MacBook pro early 2011 model to OSX 10.9 and was forced to create a new user(administrator) and ended up with a different configuration. If I login with my original user name everything is back. How can I get rid of the other user name?

I have two user names with Administrator privelages and my MacBook keeps booting up to the wrong one and I have the wrong configuration since I updated to OSX 10.9. I would like to get back to my original User name which I used to boot up to. When I go to the User Groups and Preferences it doesn't allow me to delete the un-wanted user.
Does anybody have any suggestions how I can fix this? I can't seem to recover Time Capsule back-ups prior to the OSX upgrade even though I have been faithfully backing up to a Time Machine.
Help please.

First of all, open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options, and set your old user account in "Automatic login". By doing this, your computer will always log in with your old account.
Then, log in your old account, where you will be able to delete the new user that OS X Mavericks forced you to create. Other users have reported the same problem

$USERS = Get-Content C:\Temp\USER-LIST.txt
$USERS|Foreach{Get-ADUser $_ -Properties * |Select SAMAccountName, mail, XXXXX}|Export-CSV -Path C:\Temp\USERS-ATTRIBUTES.csv

Gautam Ji<abbr class="affil"></abbr>
Thanks for replying I tried both but it did not work for me instead this command which i extended generated nice results
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Property * | Select-Object Name,Created,createTimeStamp,DistinguishedName,DisplayName,
EmployeeID,EmployeeNumber,Enabled,HomeDirectory,LastBadPasswordAttempt,LastLogonDate,LogonWorkstations,City,Manager,MemberOf,MobilePhone,PasswordLastSet,BadLogonCount,pwdLastSet,SamAccountName,UserPrincipalName,whenCreated,whenChanged
| Export-CSV Allusers.csv -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8
only one problem is that Manager column is generating this outcome rather showing exact name of the line Manager .
CN=Mr XYZ ,OU=Users,OU=IT,OU=Departments,OU=Company ,DC=organization,DC=com,DC=tk

Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now I get a messege saying the user name or password for verizon is incorrect on my iPad but is fine on my home computer what's wrong with my ipad

Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now getting messege that says the user name or password for verizon is incorrect yet my home computer is fine only have this od my iPad

I experienced same problem tonight and called Verizon technical support and they walked me through the settings on iPad. Took about 5 minutes. Basically it involved changing incoming.verizon.net to pop.verizon.net and changing outgoing.verizon.net to smtp.verizon.net. But it's worth the call to ensure other settings are OK. Evidently, change at Verizon was effective today!

To know windows user name and machine name

Is it possible to automatically populating windows user name and machine name in form field?
If so what should I do?

Hi,
You can, but it is considered a security risk by Adobe. Therefore you need to execute the script in a "trusted function". This is script in a JavaScript file that is stored in a set folder on the user's computer. This can make it difficult to maintain, as all users will need this .js file.
Also if you Reader Enable the form through Accrobat, then the script will fail.
See a thread here with examples: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2189021#2189021.

Get current logged in user in sharepoint 2013 hover display template

Hi,
Can somebody tell me how the current logged in username can be retreived in hover display template to be used in search result.
i tried using rest api but that is very difficult to get as it is to be done using ajax call and if we do getting a return value asynchronous is difficult.
Please help

Hello,
You might use the function used in the Visual Studio SharePoint App template:
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var user = context.get_web().get_currentUser();
$(document).ready(function () {
getUserName();
function getUserName() {
context.load(user);
context.executeQueryAsync(onGetUserNameSuccess, onGetUserNameFail);
function onGetUserNameSuccess() {
$('#message').text('Hello ' + user.get_title());
function onGetUserNameFail(sender, args) {
alert('Failed to get user name. Error:' + args.get_message());

Hi BalusC,
First of all Thanks for your reply, but this JSP page will be saved in Server and user will access this site from client machine.
Please suggest how to go in this scenario.
Thanks Again,
AvinashJSP runs at the server machine. It would only return the user name of the server machine. All what the client got is the HTML output produced by JSP, it doesn't get any line of JSP/Java code. You need to run Java at the client machine. A signed applet and web start app can do that.
