OSUser() not working on server

[Anonymous]

I want to extract the details of the logged in user.

For this i am using the function OSUser(). This works perfectly fine when i am using it on my local machine. However when i deploy the dashboard on the server, the user details dont come through. It shows a blank. I have tried using QVUser() in place of OSUser() too. Both of these dont seem to work. Could someone please help me with this?

Hi,

osuser()  will read your local machine login.

qvuser() reads your user if you long into section access with USERID.

They should work on the access point.

OSUSer() should work on access point, are you just showing OSUser()? or using the function in an expression?

Create a Text object and put in =osuser()

OSUser() always works with Plugin as client. With Ajax, it only works if the server authorization is set to "DMS authorization".

Hi,

That is incorrect, osuser() will work with either setting.

Maybe since version 12.10. But before it definitely did not work in Ajax if server authorization was set to "NTFS authorization".
