How to get username after authentication??

KomanDiabate — Wed, 26 Jun 2013 15:11:38 GMT

Hello All,
I am working on an application where I am using the api identityManager to authenticate users stored in ArcGIS Server. I am trying to get the username after users are being authenticated, does anybody has tried to do this? I need to get somehow the authenticated user's username after being authenticated so I can do apply more functionalities to my application. I have so far looked into findCredential() and getCredential() with no luck. Any help will be appreciated..

Thanks.

Koman,

After the user signs in, you should be able to call "findCredential" to get the Credential which includes a "userId" property. This is not something I have tried I am just reading the API help:

Hi Dasa:
Thank you so so much, featurelayer.userid works like a charm. Interesting place to hide the userid.
I truly appreciate your help on this issue.

Thank you.
