Get logged in username using scripting only

[musojonn]

Hi everyone, hope you're well.

Is there any way to get the logged in username using oscript? I have been reading through the docs and couldn't really figure it. There was some info in this old thread thread862-750694 but this refers to a login page I cannot find anywhere - I can find a cmo-login which does not appear to use any obvious script.

I tried to do this but am really not getting anywhere. I think we need a LivelinkUserInterface sort of like this:

var llui - new LivelinkUserInterface();
llui.getCurrentUser();

Any ideas? Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks very much

Jon

In OScript, the User ID and User Name can be found in the Program Context (PrgCtx) object

Thanks Greg. Now I just have to find out what's in that object, not in my scripting documentation here. I see many people in answers talking about the Livelink Builder, which allows examing objects methods / properties etc I'm guessing...can't find this in my downloads from Opentext anywhere...

Thanks for your help.

download is there, but hte Builder is their SDK and needs to be purchased, which may be why you can't see it.

OK, thanks very much Greg. So is there any documentation about these objects somewhere - just a simple class browser or something - or am I left with:

1: try and guess how to do oscript by bangi
2: buy the sdk
3: just do it in .net instead, and stop banging my head against a wall

Thanks

I guess the answer depends on what you are trying to do, if it is just the username and the rest of your code is in .Net then use the WebService.

Can you provide more information on what you are trying to do ?

Hey Greg.

I was just trying to grab the Livelink username which would allow me to pick up who was going to a page, then loading their data. Like a little hr portal area, loading the training plan details from a db. So literally the bit of oscript which was getting me was just to find out logged in user so i could then personalise the page. I thought it would take me seconds to find out how in the online reference

many orgs use livelink dirsvcs which means it is using the windows creds of the user so any decent .net program can get the logged in user.In your org do you have livelink with user's signing in then this method won't work.although after the page is rendered it is sitting there in the browser.I do not know if you will be able to use that info to do what you need.

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

As AppNair points out, if you are using Single Sign On, then the username will be in the HTTP Request. If you page is embedded inside a Livelink page, e.g. a CustomView then something like

may be of use.
