MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / February 2007How to detect NT Username/Logon ID in Infopath?
Does anyone know of a way to detect a person's NT Username/logon ID on an Infopath form? I would like to read this information directly from Infopath to pass into an internal web service and return that output to the form. You need to set up a web service from Active Directory and then create a WSDL connection to retreive the data. > Does anyone know of a way to detect a person's NT Username/logon ID on an > Infopath form? > > I would like to read this information directly from Infopath to pass into an > internal web service and return that output to the form. When a person opens an Infopath form how do you gather the current user's NT Logon information? Even with a web service to Active Directory wouldn't you need to pass identifying information such as e-mail address or something else to get output. The equivalent of something like Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") from VBScript (our form uses Javascript as the code behind in Infopath though)? Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") would return something like microsoft/bgates on a ASP page. I am looking to obtain this informatin on an Infopath form when the user opens it from a SharePoint form library. > You need to set up a web service from Active Directory and then create a WSDL > connection to retreive the data.

In IP2007, it's simple. 1) Create a new textbox control 2) Go to it's properties 2) In the "default value" box, put "userName()" (no quotes) OK out and preview the form, you should see the username you logged into your computer with displayed in the textbox. You can also find the userName() function by clicking the fX button next to the default value box, going to "all" functionals, and scrolling down the list to userName() Hope this helps! > Does anyone know of a way to detect a person's NT Username/logon ID on an > Infopath form? > > I would like to read this information directly from Infopath to pass into an > internal web service and return that output to the form.

In IP2003, you can use the webservice/secondary data source as above, or try this bit of script: var objWscript; objWscript = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Network"); XDocument.UI.Alert(objWscript.username); > Is there an equivalent function in Infopath 2003? > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > > I would like to read this information directly from Infopath to pass into an > > > internal web service and return that output to the form. |
