Hello Community,
I am currently developing an application on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) using Cloud Application Programming Model (CAPM) with Fiori UI. The application has a unique requirement where it needs to read the user’s computer name.
The reason for this requirement is that we have a table in HANA Cloud which maps user systems to cloud printers. When a user wants to print, the application needs to select the printer corresponding to the user’s computer name from this table and send the print job to this cloud print solution (Bartender).
I understand that due to security reasons, JavaScript running in a browser does not have access to the client’s system information, including the computer name. I have also researched and found that using JavaScript to get the user’s computer name may not be possible in modern browsers.
Given these constraints, I am looking for alternative approaches to retrieve the user’s computer name. Here are my specific questions:
- Are there any alternative methods to retrieve the user’s computer name in a web application running on SAP BTP CAPM with Fiori UI?
- Are there any best practices or recommended approaches for handling this kind of requirement, considering the security implications?
- If retrieving the computer name programmatically is not feasible, what would be the best way achive this functionality ?
Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best Regards, Sri
