I need to capture the id the user logged into Portal .  I've tried using the info from previous posts but with no luck.  I'd like to do this using javascript.

Are you using Design Studio? If so you can use:
var userid=portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute("lawsonuserlogin")

Unforturnately we don't have Design Studio.  We have a few custom apps that we developed using Java, jsp,  and javascript.  In our 8 environment (not Portal) we just grabbed the userid from a hidden frame on the top window.  Can we do this with Portal?

Thanks!

Were you using the authenticate functon to populate authUser as self service apps do,  this method still is used but the source moved from javascript/authenicate.js to webappjs/user.js
