How to access userId in TS6.x cgi's

Hi,

in the TS5.x style cgi's one could get the user_name, domain, role via a cgi-param.

How can I get to this info in the TS6.x style cgi interface (while not using the wdpro_menu.ipl)?

Cheers, Ronald

Can you please explain a bit more of your requirement.... Please.

TestChartCreation.java

my $user_name = $cgi->{form}{user_name};

What more can I explain about this?

my $user_name = $cgi->{form}{user_name};

We are using 6.1 and accessing the username same way.. No change.!! Smiley Happy

All the variables are same as in earlier versions. If you are not finding the values, then it is definitely an issue.

This is not true.

During the TS5.5.x to 6.x transistion all cgi-params have been replaced by a vpath-param. Params for user_name, user_role & domain seem to have disappeared (as far as I know). See attachment.

If your cgi's still have access to user_name etc you are most likely to use the (deprecated) wdpro_menu.ipl-wrapper.

So my question is still unchanged:

How to retrieve the user_name in a (menu-)cgi when NOT using wdpro_menu.ipl?

hard to believe this can't be found in devnet or docs, but anyway, coz it's xmas almost. Taken from a cgi of ours that we re-wrote to conform to 6.5 style (up from 5.5.2)

my $cgi = TeamSite::CGI_lite->new();
$cgi->parse_data();


my $username    = $cgi->{'cookie'}{'iw_user'};
my $userrole    = $cgi->{'cookie'}{'iw_role'};
(my $branch_path = $cgi->{'form'}{'cwd.vpath'}) =~ s%/[WORKAREA|STAGING|EDITION].*$%%;
# in TS 5.5 the branchpath variable had the mountpath (/iwmnt) at the beginning
# in TS 6.5 there is no mountpath on cwd.vpath, but there is //servername. That doesn't bother us, so leaving that as is.

and I just realised that this code is bad, because the [square] brackets on the branch_path regex should have been (round)... it's even a miracle that it works Smiley Very Happy

The username and role moved, I believed, to the cookie section of the form variables (

$cgi->{cookie}{iw_user}

- or something like that) - note that the role information disappears in 6.7.x with the introduction of flexible roles - and you need to use

TeamSite::Flexroles

with the branch path and userid to determine the role(s) available for that user in that branch (unfortunately, as I noted elsewhere - the author of the module did not provide POD documentation in the module so you have to look at the actual source code for the module to figure out what methods are available, what parameters they take, and what return value they provide)
