Hi,

I'm trying to get the true network username from the users logged into OI. I can check the SYSLOGINS and get the process ID but I would still need to use (i think) GetTokenInformation to get the network username for that process.

The Q is… has anyone used GetTokenInformation or is there an easier way to get the netwrok username for a given process in OI?

Thanks

There is a new function released in 9.1 called rti_getnetworkusername. However this function is not working properly and will be fixed in 9.1.1. If you need it now send me an email at rorsini@revelation.com.

In 8.x I have added Field 13 (MY_USER) into SYSLOGINS.

Then during login everyone writes their ID to this field.

Now all user ID's will be easily accessible.

Compile Subroutine Write_LoggedIn_Log(USR)

LogFile=SYSLOGINS'

ID=MYAPP*':@USERNAME:'*':@STATION

Open LogFile TO FILE_OUT Then

   OPEN 'DICT', LogFile to @DICT ELSE Null

End Else

Msg("Can't open"); Return

End

Select FILE_OUT

@Record=USR ;** add new field username

Write @Record to FILE_OUT, ID else

Msg("Error xxx")

End

Return

Thanks guys,

In the end I did something similar, writing into SYSLOGINS the username from GetUserName and GetUserNameEx rather than retrieving from the process ID.

Kauko/Dale,

I want to issue a warning. While you are using fields in SYSLOGINS that may not be touched by Revelation, placing data in these records may cause problems in the future.

Perhaps a request should be put into the suggestion box to have some user defined fields added?
