    Hi;

    We have some hyperlinks on lawson portal to other ,NET web apps, and use Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") to pass logon user ID to these apps. Before we upgraded to Lawson 9.0 it worked fine. But now  the Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")  always return empty string (LSF 9 using LDAP).  Is there other way we can capture the user Logon ID in Lawson portal?

    Thank you in advance.

      LOGON_USER is an NT server variable.  So, unless you're bound to NT security I don't think it exists any more...  I'm looking for another place to grab this id too as we have a similar need to pass the user name into other .NET applications launched from the portal.

        You can use the getAttribute method of the oUserProfile to figure out the user's login id:
        function FORM_OnInit()
        {
        alert( portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute("id"))
        alert( portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute("lawsonusername"))
        }
        Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!
