Hello
If you want to use the variable &IBIMR_user in a .Fex you must add
that line
IBIMR_user(pass)
On you WebFocus Administrator Console
Configuration/ Custom Settings

hi hgouin,

thanks - but in an fex it is working - but i'm looking for the information within the html part of the report - without running an fex.

i need the login before i execute a report - for other purposes - not to limit on it or similar.

Also described it in more detail in my initial message

thanks
torsten

Here's a method to find out what cookies were saved for the server or domain:

1) On the Internet Explorer Links toolbar, add a page (any page) by dragging a URL to the Links toolbar.
2) Right-click and select Properties of the newly created Link. On the Web Document tab, enter the JavaScript code below in the URL textbox and on the General tab, enter "cookies" as the name of the Link.
3) Click OK, also click OK for any warning pop-up messages.

Now, when you click on this Link, a pop-up window will display the cookie values for the server or domain of the current web page.

JavaScript:

javascript:if(document.cookie.length<1){alert('No%20cookie%20for%20this%20site.')}else{alert('Cookie%20for%20this%20site:'+document.cookie)}

Hi Francis,

thanks for the tip - but my problem is not that I don't know how to see the cookie - the cookies is simply not there. Your code told me the same. Btw with Firefox there are easier ways to see your cookies.

My problem is a) that there is no cookie WF_User and/or b) that I do not know how to get the username of the logged in user in the html part of an report and NOT in the fex.

Thanks
Torsten

Torsten,

Is this a self-service (non-MRE) application?

Does your login page use the normal form fields for a WebFOCUS login, like IBIC_user, IBIWF_action and WF_SIGNON_MESSAGE?

This minimal test login page generates the WebFOCUS cookies:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test Logon</title>
</head>

<body>

<form action='/ibi_apps/WFServlet' method='post'>

<input type='hidden' name='IBIWF_action' value='WF_SIGNON'>
<input type='hidden' name='WF_SIGNON_MESSAGE' value='../../approot/test/dummy.htm'>

User <input type='text' name='IBIC_user' value='' />
Password <input type='password' name='IBIC_pass' value='' />

<input type='submit' value='Submit'>
</form>

</body>
</html>

Hi Francis,

afaik we use the standard forms provided by ibi itself url http://server/ibi_apps/bid-login? /using jk_mod to redirect apache requests

If I like to change the logon form I work on the file WORP_Login.jsp.

Form starts with:

  
  <body bgcolor="#fcfbff" class="default" onload="java_script:pageLoaded[);">
    <form action="/ibi_apps/Controller" method="post" name="userform">
      <input type="hidden" name="IBIWF_language" value="de">
      <input type="hidden" name="WORP_REQUEST_TYPE" value="WORP_LOGIN">

Hope I answered the question - but I'm not that long used to work with IBI to be honest - so I may get things wrong - sorry upfront

A BID login is completely different than a self-service login.

The cookie for a BID login here looks like:

JSESSIONID=814783148E3A81D6DEAF8260C1BDD19B
IBIWF_language=en
MR_COOKIE=1f4057910b6dcc6ceaa2b85a3600da0f1706206ba2d5c3597133b9c5b3bdb6f30c5f0c54cd48f1bc

WF_SESSIONID=12bb75409e775bd7101f5c24657053fb3

Which looks like the information may be encrypted. I'd have to look into how to get the user ID into an HTML page...

Meanwhile, you may want to take a look at this:

If you are using BID, the WF_USER cookie does not exist (as you have noticed). You have the MR_COOKIE, but as Francis pointed out, you would have to decypt it to use it. I would suggest that if you are changing the WORP_Login.jsp anyway, why not create your own cookie at submission time. The userid is part of the form, so it shouldn't be a problem to create or use.

Hi all,

thanks for all your answers. I hoped there would be another way to use the username without my own cookie. I have now implemented it the way that i create a cookie while click on sign on button and set a cookie with livetime 0 - means get disturbed once browser is closed.

thanks all for your answers.
