WebDynpro Application to get Portal User

[Former Member]

Hi,

I develop a WebDynpro Application for SAP Portal 6.0 SP9. I want to read the user ID of the currently logged in Portal User in my WebDynpro Application to show personalized data. In the WebDynpro I use the following code:

  	
if (WDPortalUtils.isRunningInPortal()) {
  logger.debugT("WD in Portal!");

  try {
    IWDClientUser curUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
    IUser sapUser = curUser.getSAPUser();

    String userId = curUser.getClientUserID();
    if (sapUser != null) {
      userId = sapUser.getUniqueName();
    }
  ... catch etc.
}

The IUser sapUser is always Null, the userId is set to a - for me useless - two digits number...

Portal and the J2EE engine are running on the same system.

So I tried to switch on authentication in the properties of the application.

The result was that I get a second login screen when I call the IView with my WebDynpro in it.

When I enter my Portal credentials, nothing happens, login screen comes again. Giving wrong credentials results in a bad login error as expected.

So can someone tell me what I miss here? Is there another way to get the User data? I tried some standard Java ways, but as always SAP does not conform to that standards.

Thanx in advance for any help,

Frank

Hi Frank

Try out the following code. It worked for me.

try

{

IWDClientUser wdUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();

IUser user = wdUser.getSAPUser();

if (user != null)

{

IUserAccount[] acct = user.getUserAccounts();

if(acct[0] != null)

{

String strUserid = acct[0].getLogonUid();

String strPasswd = acct[0].getHashedPassword();

}

}

}

catch etc

Hope this helps you

Hello,

thanx for your answer, but it does not work.

>   if (user != null)
>    {

Problem is, user is NULL in my case. So I don't get any IUser.

Hello,

after reconfiguring the JAAS from our Portal Administrator it works now. Nobody knows what was wrong, we started just from the beginning again...
