I need to get the logged on user id which is set by the webfocus security when the user logs in. I want to retrieve it within the HTML main menu page and use it to display a customized report for this user. Does anyone know how to get this - I have tried to get it from MR_COOKIE or WF_COOKIE but these are encrypted? Thanks.

There are several user-IDs and these can be in sync if you're configured for single sign-on, or they can be disparate.

the most commonly needed ids are:
IBIC_user - WebFOCUS logged on user (reporting server ID)
IBIMR_user - The Managed Reporting user ID.

These can be seen inside WebFOCUS language as amper variables, but in order to do this, you have to make sure the WebFOCUS CGI passes them into the WebFOCUS agent session; otherwise, they are "absorbed" by the CGI/WFServlet during the http transmission. To get them to be passed, in site.wfs (found in your client\wfs\etc directory), you can set then as follows:
<set>IBIC_user(pass)
<set>IBIMR_user(pass)

cheers!

Is this still valid in 7.7.04 and with the 8.0.0 client?

To answer that myself: yes it is still the valid approach.
