find logged in user using javascript

Hi Team,
Can i find the logged in user using javascript? can someone please share the code for the same?

that depends on how you log in the user. if it's server side, you probably need to do an AJAX request. if you put the username in a cookie, you should get that without problems.

find logged in ser using javascript

Hi Dormilich,

I will explain you my problem.
I am having one app which is uploading doc using .net's impersonation functionality and using \\<path>. the code is working fine as everything is on the same .cs file. Now when i am trying to open the saved document i am using the same impersonation functionality and logging in with same user. but i am getting error while opening the doc it is asking me username/pwd which is not happening for uploading.
code for opening the doc is on .js file and using http://<path> to read the file.

why do you open the file using javascript?

you can pass login details along with the url:

http://login:password@domain.tld

Hi,
Can you please help me on how to pass the service account's username and password with the url? After that will server stop opening the prompt to enter uname and password?
my path is like this
http://abc.abc.abc.abc/test/<path of the file>
how to append uname pwd with this?

[Dormilich]

see code above (add login:password@ before the host name/address)

Hi,
I am not that good in js so do i have to write the domain name also?
e.g.
http://<uname_xyz>:<pw d_abc>@<server_ name>/<file path>
Where to write the domain name there?
we have diff domains name for diff regions
e.g em,apj,am

Hi,
Thanks for quick reply.
I tried to embade username, pwd with the url but it is not opening. Giving error.

http://UNAME:PWD@abc.def.lmn.com/TEST-PREPOD/200904/ABC/CNAME/12345678/R123456/test.xls

I got invalid syntax error. Page can't be displayed.

[Dormilich]

hm, no idea. though it works with my own server.

does it work when you put that in your browser's address bar?

Hi,
No it is giving me error. First i tried to test it with browser only.
I just added username and pwd with the url.
