Hi all.

I want to know if its possible to get the wndows user in the web dynpro application.

I mean if i can get the windows user of the machine in which is running the wdp app.

If so, i want to know how?

Thx a lot.

Hi Gregory

If you are using webdynpro delivered through EP then you could setup the Windows Authentication template, this would help you to login to EP without a form based login and subsequently to webdynpro app. The user retreived through the UME apis would be the user logged into the machine.

Thx both for the answers.

I will try with the FM 'GUI_GET_DESKTOP_INFO'.

And Pran i'm not using EP.

Hi,

I dont know whether there is a direct way to get user id but in R/3 side you can use the GUI_GET_DESKTOP_INFO FM to get the login userid.

Hope this helps.
