Sorry for not being very clear. At the LF Conference this year I attended a class put on by another K-12 SD and they talked about how they created a portal that authenticated with Active Directory for their employees to login to. They then pulled the logged in user information from that portal to populate information in Forms. We are in need of doing the same thing and are just looking for some suggestions or solutions for doing this.

What you are asking is not very clear. Do you mean this mechanism to be an alternative to the native authentication method in Laserfiche Forms?

If you use Forms 9.1, you can set the default value of any field to a token. This can even be the logged in user.

In Forms 9.1, there is an in-built token for the current user who is signed in:

{/_currentuser}

So you can potentially use this token if the Laserfiche Forms username is integrated with their intranet and active directory.

If you're planning on writing a separate application for retrieving the Windows username, the following call can be used in your application (C#):

var username = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
