How to get username from web Browser without using qvuser() and Macro

Hello Everyone,

                  I need to get the QV user from the browser when the user is logged in,

1) I can't use qvuser() as it requires QlikView's "section access" security mechanism.

2) Don't want to use macro.

My question is , how do i get the  "Authenticated User" value in the  "Document Support Information"  from the web browser.

I appericate a quick response

Thanks

The osuer() will give the Operating system user .  I need to get the qlikview user name

I could see the user name information's in the web browser "Document Support Information"(DSI), but don't know how to get it.

What type of authentication are you using? When I use standard Windows auth, no Section Access, the Authenticated user is the same as OsUser().
