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.

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.

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.

Getting Windows Username of the Client m/c

Hi,
I want to be able to get the userid of a person when they call a servlet which is residing on a server.
The person will log into his own computer using his user id and when he calls my servlet which
is on my server over a network, I will be able to retrieve his user id .
Thanx in advance
bye

Why don't you include these informations with the POST (or GET) message to the servlet?
just use:
http://....../servlet?userLogin=User Name&userPassword=765
at the servlet, you can retrieve these info using the getParameter() command:
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException
String usrId = request.getParameter("userLogin");
String usrPassword = request.getParameter("userPassword");

How to get the windows username in jsx

You could also get My Documents folder like this:

HDD failure, I'd like to know how to get Windows 7 back on it.

Hello everyone, I've had a HDD issue lately, but before I move on to describe my issue, here are the specs of my notebook:
HP Pavilion dv6-3264ca
AMD Triple-Core CPU 2.2 Ghz
6GB RAM
128MB ATI Graphic Card
750GB Toshiba HDD
Windows 7 64-bit
The issue:
Recently I've had a very unfortunate HDD failure. The recovery partition wouldn't even load. I tried booting my notebook on Linux with the HDD still attached, and it wouldn't read. I extracted the HDD and placed it in an HDD-enclosuer and it still wouldn't load on Windows XP or Vista or 7. It would however read in the device manager of Windows and also in the BIOS.
I needed to extract some high-priority data from there so I managed to retrieve all my data safely through a data recovery service, but now the drive is rendered useless. I was told a low-level format might be able to help it be usable again, and if that were to happen, the recovery partition would then be removed in the process.
In addition to that, I would like to install Windows 7 64-bit onto the drive, but the notebook box did not come with an installation CD, which is quite frustrating. Is there any way HP can let me download Windows 7 through some warranty service?
I have a one-year warranty on my laptop.
So in closing, I would like to know if I can get Windows 7 back onto my HDD for free, or if I need to go about buying Windows 7 again.
Any advice from you kind folks?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Here are Two options.
1. If you have ( or can borrow ) a retail Windows 7 installation disc that is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - ie if your notebook came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this is the exact retail version you would need.
If you don't have access to a retail disc, you can create an installation disc yourself - just download the correct Disc Image from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/download-windows-7-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit-direct-download-link...
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the underside of your notebook when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.
http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone.aspx
Any additional drivers you may need can be found Here.
2. You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below - these cost around $30 if you live in the US.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00810334&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en
If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

Trying to download update to iTunes in Vista but get Windows installer error. How do I update?

Trying to download update to iTunes but get Windows Installer error. How do I correct?

many thanks.
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

How to get Windows Server 2012 trial license key?

How to get Windows Server 2012 trial license key? I'm trying to install WinServer 2012 Trial on a VMWare Workstation 9. I'm asked for the product key during set up. If I ignore putting in the key (since I don't have one) The install fails stating no valid
key. I tried this with Oracle's Virtual Box and the same thing happens. I tried using Majic JellyBean to find the key, but that only works on pre-installed OS. A Technet article said to use aaaa-bbbbb-ccccc-ddddd etc. in the spaces. That doesn't work either.
Articles all over the web seem to have other people in the same boat. Please help :)

Download the trial version from here -
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/evaluate/trial-software.aspx It does not require a key. If the software is asking for a key, it is not the trial copy. Where did you get your copy?
