User name in sub process

Hi,

One way of doing this is to make sure the site is configured to run under Windows Authentication, open a connection to K2.net Server making use of K2ROM

Code:
Dim oK2Connection As New K2ROM.Connection

oK2Connection.Open(k2Server)
response.write(oK2Connection.User)


The User Property of the Connection object will return the current logged on users name DomainUserName

-------------------------------------------

If you want to see who is logged on to the current K2 ASP.Net page (site runs under Windows Authentication) you can also use:

Page.User.Identity.Name

This code will return the current logged on user's DomainUsername

Top man, cheers David, I'll give it a try....

:?: These all seem to display the user that started the sub process, the k2 manager account, I need the user that is logged onto the Sharepoint site that will be completing the form, where can I get this username from? All the code is in a server event at the mo.

Cheers,

I am assuming that the parent process' originator is correct (i.e. the user that filled in the form)...

Are you using the IPC event template to start off the sub-processes? In this case, there is an option to use Originator on the 'Enter Connection Information' screen of the IPC Wizard. Note, however, that this option is only available if you entered 'local' as the server name in the preceding wizard screen and selected 'Windows Authentication' on the 'enter Connection Information' wizard screen.

The 'local' server name setting means that the sub-process will be started on the same K2.net server that the parent process is running on. This means that the parent process is able to start the sub-process as the same user that started the parent process (hope this makes sense!). In the sub-process you will then be able to use 'originator' as you would in the parent process.
Just remember to then give the relevant users sufficient permissions on the child processes to be able to start them.

Another alternative is to save the originator's information into process datafields and to pass these fields over to the child processes.

Hope this helps...
