I know there have been posts on this topic so please understand that I'm looking for final clarification on this.

Problem: Need to use the MRE logon id as a parameter in a fex. This is for WebFOCUS 5.26, on Linux. We are using LDAP as the authentication exit so I'm really grabing their LDAP ID from this process.

I have read a few things that tell me to make a change to the site.wfs file. Does anyone know the exact path to this file? When I do a search I get:

[gbrown2@moriarty css]$ locate site.wfs
/ibi/srv52/home/etc/site.wfs
/ibi/srv52/wfs/etc/site.wfs
/ibi/srv52/BACKUP/etc/site.wfs
/ibi/client52/home/etc/site.wfs
/ibi/client52/wfc/etc/site.wfs
/ibi/client52/CSP5_Backup/home/etc/site.wfs

which reveals that I have no less than seven files of this name on our server. I'm assuming it is not the backups.

Next I need to know the exact change made to the file.

Then I need to know if I have to restart the server or reset the workspace or anything else to make it active.

Any help is greatly appreciated... as always thanks so much to this user community for making things easier to find out.

Based on what you have listed it would be
/ibi/client52/wfc/etc/site.wfs

logon to the wfconsole it would be the hostname\ibi_html\wfconsole.htm if you logon as an admin under configuration custom settings this allows you to edit the site.wfs via a webbrowser (note the webserver must have write privilages to this directory).

You need to edit the /ibi/client52/wfc/etc/site.wfs file. Put in the following code.

MREID=&IBIMR_user
<SET>MREID(pass)

You will then have &MREID available to you in you fexes. Remember to recycle your app server after making changes to site.wfs.

WFUSER you are my hero. Your example worked great :^)
