windows user name in webdynpro abap

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I need to verify windows user before running my webdynpro application,

i have tried method cl_gui_frontend_services=>get_user_name

& function module gui_get_desktop_info.

but none of them is returning the value, due to reason being called from a web frontend.

please advise.

regards

cl_gui_frontend_services=>get_user_name

is SAP GUI specific calls, run at client machine and fetch the username, browser can not execute this.

Hi Abhi,

thanks for the reply buddy, then what is the alternative to get the windows user id for my wendynpro application.

as i already suggested there is a way out..

You can code it in BSP and after yuo get the Username you can call web dynpro using URL parameter

java script code snippet.

I tried that in BSP, but gave me the error:

ActiveX component can't create object: 'WSCRIPT.Network'

How to get through that?

Hi Charlie

I also got similiar problem

you need to change the security settings in the internet explorer.

tools->internet option->security->custom level ->active x controls and plug in -> initialise and activate activ x controls not marked as safe -> enabled.

this will work and return you the user name.

but still its not a sugested way of doing this as it will disturb the security policy of any compnay.

i am still lokking for a suitable solution possibly a client side ASP to run through bsp and give result.

I found the same thing. I was able to make the security policy change in IE and make this work. But it doesn't seems to be a way since not secure.

Is there a way to "mark" this code safe? or perhaps another way?

Hi Charlie,

generally Enterprise Portal user base is configured to use the LDAP system where all the users accounts are maintained.

In short the user account for portal login is same as the windows account, you can pass the userid to web dynpro application using iView parameters.

Hi Siddharth,

Note from moderator: Sorry, but the information provided was completely wrong, so rather than lead to possible confusion I decided to remove it. Abhi is correct in saying that such function modules and classes listed are tied to the SAPGUI. They need to communicate direclty with the SAPGUI via the control interface and the SAPGUI provides the information. In Web Dynpro you have no connection to the SAPGUI because you are running in a browser. It doesn't matter where you place such calls, they simply aren't going to work from Web Dynpro.

Hi,

You can not write Javascript in Web Dynpro, I don't think it is possible directly.

You can code it in BSP and after yuo get the Username you can call web dynpro using URL parameter
