LDAP logged in username

Thu, 09 Jul 2015 07:14:10 GMT

Hi All,

I want to show the user name of the user who opens the qvw app on browser or desktop.

For this I have used the predefined function OSUser() which gives the user id not the user name.

Do any one has the idea how to get the user name using the user id?

I request you to please suggest the solution using macros or any alternative method except section access because it will restrict to certain user not all.

Hi Anuj,

A simple way to handle this is create a mapping table for the USERID and username

like:

userid, Name

1 , Anju

2, Anu

something like this ....and while displaying the get the user name from name column

Hi Anuj,

you could read the info already, when the script is loading:

https://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-6079

This document contains a macro to query Active Directory, but maybe it works with your LDAP.

Best regards,

Christian
