Are you referring to the windows environment variable USERNAME?

If so, you can certainly not read it from the client machine...

What do you try to achieve? You might want to point your UME against your user store (LDAP) so that you can reuse your windows domain user?

Hi,

How can i point UME to a userstore (LDAP) ?

Basically i want to read the logged in user name(Like i027746 or D023489 )

Hi Anil,

You can use the UME api's to read the user id. There is a weblog also on this. You can use the code below to read the user id.

<i>IWDClientUser user = null;

try

{

user = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();

}

catch(Exception ex)

{

/* Exception Handling */

}

IUserAccount[] accounts = user.getSAPUser().getUserAccounts();

if ( accounts!= null && accounts.length >= 1)

{

String username = (String) accounts[0].getLogonUid();

}</i>

Hope this is helpful.

Correctly formulated question is a half of an answer...

1. What is "windows variables"?

2. What is exact type of UIElement?
