Validating IWAUTH

Bowker

Is there a way to validate the IWAUTH cookie and get the username of the person logged in? I would like to launch a perl script from outside of teamsite to return all the jobs associated with a the user. However, I want to make sure they are already logged in.

It is a perl script that lives in <iwhome>/iw-bin/

"iwuser -q -session <value of IWAUTH cookie>" seems to work for me.

Hope this helps.

I don't know if the iwuser CLT tells you if the session is valid, or if it just tells you if the user (indicated by the session string) is valid. The distinction would be that the session may have expired.

I determined empirically that the result of 'iwuser -session' does not change after the user logs out (and IWAUTH is therefore no longer valid.) This test was performed using TS 6.1 on Windows, but I doubt that the result is version dependent.
