Grab windows username?

Is is possible to grab the currently logged in user's username from windows and store that name in a variable to run logic against?
Please advise. I thought the documentation was unclear.
Bret

> I think what you're looking is identity.loginName
Which is what Bernd mentioned, but as I mentioned this property is security restricted and can only be read from a folder-level method. You cannot directly access identity.loginName from a document-level script.

from this i was able to get systemname & username,How do i get password.
Is it possible to get password?
Thanks,
Satya.

There's no way to get the password. NTLM uses a two-round challenge-response scheme which never send the password (neither clear nor encrypted) on the wire.
Why do you need the user's password? Is your service going to access a backend service using the user's credential? If so, you may need to use Kerberos delegation.

Windows USERNAME in Adobe Form?

I am creating a form in LiveCycle. I would like to capture the windows username of the form creator. The following javascript works, but not embedded in my Adobe form. Any advice? Thanks for the help.
var ws = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
var un = ws.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%USERNAME%");
TextField1.rawValue=un;

The folder level JavaScript can be:
// folder level JavaScript to allow access to the identity object properties
// application variable to hold the properties of the identity object
var Identity = new Array();
// loop through the properties of the identity object
for (i in identity) {
// place each property of the identity object into an element of the same name in the Identity array
Identity[i] = identity[i];
LiveCycle Designer JavaScripts run on client to access the elements of the Identity array or the properties of the identity object:
// loginName:
$.rawValue = Identity.loginName;
// name:
$.rawValue = Identity.name;
// corporation:
$.rawValue = Identity.corporation;
// e-mail:
$.rawValue = Identity.email;
Acrobat Forms JavaScripts to access the elements of the Identity array or the properties of the identity object:
// loginName:
event.value = Identity.loginName;
// name:
event.value = Identity.name;
// corporation:
event.value = Identity.corporation;
// e-mail:
event.value = Identity.email;

OBIEE 11G server not coming up after window username got chnged

Hi,
We have installed OBIEE 11g and was working fine. But, now the window username of the machine got changed and the BI server is not coming up. Do we need to re-install it or any workaround for this issue.
Thanks,

Which service you are not able to start? Is it weblogic or bi services like bi server, PS server etc..
Have you tried to start weblogic manually by running Startweblogic.cmd and able to open WLS console?

Getting Windows Username In A Page

Hello,
I am currently developing an application that requires to know the Windows username, these are generic and will be used as a terminal. I was wondering if it is possible to get this information? I know I can use javascript and a active x control but I don't really want to go down that route.
Our technology stack is:
Apex 4.2.2.00.11
Apex Listener 2
Oracle 10g, 10.2.0.4.0
Thanks,
Paul.

Here's a barebones script that you can call from a script in your form to retrieve the login name of the user:
// Folder-level JavaScript function
var getLoginName = app.trustedFunction(
    function () {
        // Get and return the user's login name
        app.beginPriv();
        return identity.loginName;
        app.EndPriv();
This needs to be included in a JavaScript file that's installed in the correct location. It's just a text file, so you can create/edit it with a text editor, but make sure the extension is ".js". For more information about how to determine where to place the file, see: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2006/folder_level_scripts
More information on all of this is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html
To populate a text field with the login name, do something like:
// Populate field with loginName
getField("text1").value = getLoginName();
Change "text1" with the actual name of the field in your form. You can place this code in a document-level JavaScript so it executes when the form is opened.
Note that all of this code is the bare minimum, and you may want to expand it to check for errors, etc.

How to get the windows username in jsx

Hello,
I have a JSX script in "My Documents\Adobe Scripts" to make it trusted script. I have another text file I need to read from JSX. Since the location depends on logged in user, I need to find the windows username. If anyone know how to get the windows username from jsx please reply.
Thank you very much.
Regards
Nima.

Hey,
You can get username like this:
var myUsername = $.getenv('username');
You could also get My Documents folder like this:
var myDocFolder = Folder.myDocuments;
Hope that helps.

How get windows username

Hi,
In my java application I have following code to get windows username-
*<%*
String s1 = System.getProperty("user.name");
out.println("The Username : "+s1+" ");
String s2 = System.getenv("USERNAME");
out.println("The Username : "+s2);
*%>*
If I log in to my PC and execute it I get correct output for both the statements, But when I execute it on server machine(when I logged in) I get the output as-
The Username : SYSTEM The Username : null
I use Apache Tomcat 5.5 to run the jsp on both (PC & server) machines. One small difference is I use eclipse on my PC and I don't use eclipse on server (I think it doesn't matter).
But when I use the same code inside a java class I get correct output on both (PC & server) machines.
Can any one solve my problem.
Thanks in advance,
Tiijnar

Hi BalusC,
Thanks for the reply.
Could you please be more elaborted on this. What I mean is- can you provide me the code for the applet.Just the same code. Use System#getProperty() in an applet. The only difference is that the applet runs at the client machine and the Java web application runs at the server machine. If your problem is rather that you don't know how to use applets, just check the applet tutorial here at sun.com. Google can find it.
Moreover when I execute jsp on my PC, I execute it on localhost (a server inside my PC). I face the problem when I host my application on my server machine.D'oh. On "localhost" the client and the server are physically on the same machine.

How to Display Windows Username in a PDF File?

I have a PDF form, it has a Name and a Date field, I setup the Date to display todays Date automatically using JavaScript. Now since my users have unique Windows login names.

How can I grab NT username from a jsp page?

I have a requirement to grab the user's NT username using a jsp page.
I thought about using JAAS NT module samples, but I would need an application running on the client to do this (not a webpage). Then I thought about using an applet, but then read that an applet cannot read the username (not even a signed applet).
I know that Request.ServerVariables() in ASP and IIS, returns the NT domain and username. I'm using ATG Dynamo and iPlanet. I'm wondering if this can only be done through webserver variables. Would iPlanet have this?
Thanks for your assistance.
-AJD

I can think of no way to accomplish this goal through the JSP/Servlet API. That type of information is not broadcasted via HTTP, so any server-based resource that captures it is probably interfacing with some client application. I know nothing about ASP, but suspect that it is only able to capture the user names by interfacing with some application that is hidden to the client- that is, I doubt it is using HTTP. Some thing will probably have to be installed on the client machine to capture this information.... ...it would seem to me that the only legitimate need for that information would be for authenticating intranet users. Can't each user just be assigned an application ID that is equivelent to their NT ID?

Logged in windows username cant be searched in LDAP tree on Windows 2000 AD

That is my active directory of my TEST Windows 2000 server:
http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/918/adwn6.gif
On the image yu will find 4 schools with shortcut names called:
OU=ASR
OU=EDS
OU=EKS (EK school for example)
OU=THS (TH school for example)
Under every OU="shortcut of schoolname" you will find also the
OU=Klassen (Klassen = classes in english)
OU=Lehrer (Lehrer = teacher in english)
again under every OU="class" and OU="teacher" you will find also the
pupils and teachers.
the teacher "verena bit" is located in:
"CN=verena bit,OU=Lehrer,OU=ASR,DC=Bodensee,DC=DE"
On the REAL Windows 2000 server used in production i have about 17 schools like OU=ASR or OU=EDS and so on...
My part aim for the first...:
With Java code: String Lehrer = System.getProperty("user.name");
I can retrieve the name of the teacher (Lehrer = teacher) who has logged into the Windows client. The problem is i get for example a String like
"verenabit" but in the ldap hierarchy all common names are for example like this: cn="verena bit" they have always a " " gap between the forename and the lastname so I can not use the String "verenabit" to search for it in the ldap tree as she would not exist right?
What i finally want is to find out the OU="shortcut of schoolname" (see above) by searching for the logged in teacher. So when i have OU="shortcut of schoolname" of the teacher i am able to read ONLY the usernames(teachers+pupils) of that specific school and not all teacher+pupils of all 17 schools what would be about 8000 users :-D
Can someone help me please how can i use the username of the logged in windows user and search him effectively in the ldap tree on my test windows 2000 server.
Steven you want all my points? ROFL ;-)

Here's a hint.
Use a generic ldap tool (for example ldp.exe which is
included in Windows Server, or whatever your
favourite ldap browser is, and find the object in the
Active Directory that corresponds to the user named
Verna Bit.
Believe it or not, you will find an attribute which
has matching value to that returned from
System.getProperty("user.name");Then you just need to construct the relevant LDAP
Query Filter.
It ain't rocket science !
Good luck.Yes i already use ldp.exe i installed it from the win2k server CD its a great tool :)
hm your hint is odd or how can i say dont know wether you really understood me, because what you suggested to me is actually what i doubted that it could work. Seems you have more faith??
The problem is (not sure wether you really understood me...) that when i search the whole Directory having 8000 user, I could search for teachers only which are in OU=Lehrer (Lehrer = teacher) and just go one childnode down but "verena bit" IS NOT "verenabit". I cannot search for the username verenatbit as i wont get any result as it does not exist.

Valid windows username and domain name

Hi,
can anu one help me with regular expression of valid username and domain name for windows
Abdul Khaliq

figure out the rules and restrictions for those names, and it shouldn't be too hard to come up with a regular expression to describe those rules.
Most likely it involves nothing more than checking for the length of the name and the existence of a small set of disallowed characters.
