How to get User Id in Web dynpro application

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am running web dynpro application with authentication checkbox set. I want to display user id of the user in my application. I am using following code in Init method of component controller.

IWDClientUser wdUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();

WdContext.currentContextElement().setUserName (wdUser.getClientUserID());

Here I am getting some integer value as userId.

I am not using Portals, so solutions suggested for portal are not useful for me .

Is there any way to get this uset id.

Thanks in advance

Hi Anton,

If your Web Dynpro application is a DC, you shouldn't copy any jar file. In the Web Dynpro Explorer, select your DC and navigate to DC MetaData > DC Definition > Used DC. Right click Used DC and choose Add Used DC. Select SAP-JEE > com.sap.security.api and click Finish. Possibly you can/should right click on your DC and choose Development Component > Sync Used DCs. Your project should build/deploy/run fine now.

If your Web Dynpro application is not a DC, you should first consider using DCs Or copy JDT\eclipse\plugins\com.sap.security\lib\com.sap.security.api.jar and put it in the lib directory of your Web Dynpro project. [For NW04s the location is IDE70\eclipse\plugins\com.sap.security_2.0.0\lib\com.sap.security.api.jar]

Kind regards,

Hi Experts,

I am not getting method getSAPUser()and class IUser.

As per the earlier discussion on this topic, I understood that C:\Program Files\SAP\JDT\eclipse\plugins\com.sap.security\lib\com.sap.security.api.jar" file has to be added to classpath.

I have copied this file in 'lib' folder of my project but its not working . I have also tried by copying it in 'lib' folder of j2sdk folder. Exactly where this file needs to be copied

Thanks in advance

Are you using NWDI (JDI) for your Web Dynpro development? In that case, you must add this DC to the list of Used DCs for your Web Dynpro DC.

Hi

The thread suggested by valery would be of help. But in case you still have problems then this should get you the name of the logged in user.

IWDClientUser user = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("User is "+user.getSAPUser().getUniqueID());

Hope that helps.

This is a multi-step process:

1. Click "Search forum" https://forums.sdn.sap.com/search!default.jspa?forumID=52&threadID=50363

2. Enter your query as your question: only nouns should be left, join them by AND, so "How to get User Id in Web dynpro application" transforms to "User AND Id AND WebDynpro AND application"

3. For sure select date range "ALL"

4. Click search

5. Study messages found

If you repeat this sequence you get "Retrieving Web Dynpro User Info" as 3-d item. And the first reply by Karin Schattka answer your question along with several sub-sequent questions.

6. If you found nothing, post question

This is a universal approach to find answers on all technical forums.

hi

try this piece of code

IWDClientUser wdUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();

IUser user = wdUser.getSAPUser();

if (user != null)

{

IUserAccount[] acct = user.getUserAccounts();

if(acct[0] != null)

{

String strUserid = acct[0].getLogonUid();

wdContext.currentZtms_Fm_Regupdate_InputElement().setAssoid(new String(strUserid));

}

}

Note: Defining the IUser will show an error. To resolve this, within the properties of

the project, choose Java build path -> Libraries -> Add external jars ->

com.sap.securities -> lib -> com.sap.security.api. Open this file and retype the code.

Maybe the Web AS UME can give you what you want:

Here are the Javadocs for interface IUser:

Hi Dhanashree,

Try this snippet of code and tell me if it helps:

IWDClientUser wdUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();

IUser user = wdUser.getSAPUser();

if (user != null)

{

IUserAccount[] acct = user.getUserAccounts();

if(acct[0] != null)

{

String strUserid = acct[0].getLogonUid();

WdContext.currentContextElement().setUserName (new String(strUserid));

}

Regards,

shyam.
