Hi,

try the following line of code and see if it works:

user = (IUser)WDClientUser.getloggedInClientUser().getSAPUser();

portal_user_name = user.getUniqueID();

also make sure that the user exist in UME

Hi,

Try the following code for fetching the portal user name and other details.

Do remember to set Authentication as True.

IWDClientUser clientuser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();

IUser user = clientuser.getSAPUser();

String displayname = user.getDisplayName();

wdContext.currentContextElement().setDsiplayname(displayname);

String uniquename = user.getUniqueID();

wdContext.currentContextElement().setUniquename(uniquename);

String firstname = user.getFirstName();

wdContext.currentContextElement().setFirstname(firstname);

String uid = user.getUid();

wdContext.currentContextElement().setUid(uid);

String jobtitle = user.getJobTitle();

wdContext.currentContextElement().setJobtitle(jobtitle);

String lastname = user.getLastName();

wdContext.currentContextElement() .setLastname(lastname);

'

I hope this will be helpful to u.

Thanx.

Hi,

Are you able to get the other properties of User like First name Last name,Unique name with the Api.

Make sure that WD application Authentication property is set to true.

Also for that Particular user you can check in Identity Management whether the user credentials like Unique id exist in UME.

try login with different users and see if the problem persist only with a particular user.
