you can refer to the name of the currently logged in user using :APP_USER. to capture the login info, i'd add an htmldb process to my app that fired "After Authentication" and simply inserted :APP_USER and sysdate into my logging table. for the logout case, you could change the "Logout URL" of your current authentication scheme to one that does whatever it's currently doing plus the logging. so i Logout URL of...
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.logout?p_this_flow=&APP_ID.&p_next_flow_page_sess=&APP_ID.:101:&APP_SESSION.
...and i changed it to something like...
my_schema_name.my_logout?p_user=&APP_USER.&p_app=&APP_ID.&p_session=&APP_SESSION.
...where my_logout was...
create or replace procedure my_logout(
p_user in varchar2,
p_app in varchar2,
p_session in varchar2) as
begin
insert into my_logging_table values (sysdate, 'logged out as '||p_user);
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.logout (
p_this_flow => p_app ,
p_next_flow_page_sess => p_app||':101');
end;
...and things worked fine.
hope this helps,
