Hi,

Pls. find UME Config. below..

Data Source : Back end(Database only...no LDAP Server database)

User Mapping : SAP Client

I couldn't find any user mapping for windows....

Is it possible to read Windows logged user name in webDynpro app..?

Hi,

One thing you need to under stand is Webdynpro application is running on your server if you use properties you will get the details of the user at the server not at the client.

Is it possible to read Windows logged user name in webDynpro app..?

Depends, If you have LDAP configured to use the windows domain controller as the source for the users, you will be able to get it. But still your portal should use this.

Hi Muthaiah,

This code is correct and it gives Windows user id only, because we are using the same code....

String user = System.getProperty("user.name");

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Window's Username: "+user);

Hi,

Your code will probably not work because it's running on the server and not on the client.

What you can do:

Add attribute mapping to your UME so the Windows' user name will be available as UME property (assuming that the Windows' user id exists as property in your UME data source).

Read this guide: (pages 20-23)

You will be able to get the property by: user.getAttribute("<namespace>","<property name>")
