Hi Andrew,

first of all thank you for sharing your login sollution! It has saved me a lot of work and possible misery :).
I have successfully implemented login screen and everything works great!

I was wondering is there a way I could use the value of user variable (username) to display a username of a logged user in my flex application (after successful login of course) - for example to display something like "You are logged in as <user>" or "Welcome <user>" (i am completely new to flex and programming, but i am keen to learn).
I would also like to use the value of this variable when user edits some of my features (through a widget connected to my published geoprocessing service). I would like to accomplish that each record in my editable feature class has a name of a user that created it.

Any ideas how to do this? Any help or advice would be highly appreciated!
Petra

I wondered why the password and the username were different from the words you mentioned in your article. I saw in the user.xml file, i.e. <username>arcgis</username><password>pa$$word</password>
and I put them everything was just OK. Thank you for your login window. My teacher asked me to create a window just as yours, but I can not code, with your code, and I can complete it. THS in the end.

Hi, I have a geoprocessing widget with "user" being one of the parameters (string). I am using Andrew's Login Screen for my flex app and would like to populate "user" parameter automatically (when widget opens) with username (a user) that signed in my application. Do I have to make same changes to Login Screen files (like Service.vb) to capture "user" variable and how do I "pass" it to geoprocessing widget?
Any help or advice would be highly appreciated!

Is there also a possibility to get users ip address through this service so that siteUsage.log also provides ip address (along with site, username, password, status and timestamp)?

I would like to find some documentation on how to add this to my code.  I have downloaded the .zip file.  I am using Flash builder 4.5 and using the developers code.  I am some what of a newbie at flex.


Thanks Andy
