get user name from identity manager

Question

Hi,
Wondering how one would go about getting the user name entered by an end user, from the identity manager? I have secured services in my app, and users are prompted for authentication by identity manager. I'd like to capture the user name and use this info to modify the interface. For my app, there are only a couple of generic users so its pretty simple. Anyone have an example? Thanks.

esri.id.credentials holds all the credentials for the page and is populated after the login. credential.userId is what you are looking for. Each layer also has a credential object, in case you need credential information for a specific layer.

One way to get the info is:dojo.connect(TNMap.map, "onLayerAddResult", function (result, error) {   if (result.credential && result.credential.userId){   console.log(result.credential);   }; });
