Hi,

Our customer has a Portal which they log into using credentials. Once Authenticated they Navigate to the LF Forms Link and continue to complete the form.

What we would like is to pass the credentials of the Authenticated User of the Portal to populate a field on the form.

I'am able to update the URL to Pass a String

http://localhost/Forms/QT?uName=chris

Any recommendations how to do this using this method or Javascript or other

Thanks in Advance

Chris

See this page regarding embedding the form into an existing web page. Perhaps the web page can use User.Identity.Name from the System.Web namespace to get the Windows username and then pass that as a parameter to the form.

The answer to your question will depend on what Portal the customer is using. For instance, our Portal uses Joomla as a backend. With Joomla there is a plugin that exposes the logged in user data to be used when embedding a Laserfiche Form on the Portal to pass the email address to populate a field and then do a lookup in the HR database for the corresponding users information.

You could also pass this using a querystring, but now anyone that can read can pretty much tell that all you have to do is change that name to someone else's to pull there information.

Thank you for the responses.

The Authentication is that the Customer is using Oracle weblogic if that helps

Are the users actually created in WebLogic or are they using something like Microsoft Active Directory, but tied into WebLogic through their LDAP authentication provider?

The users are managed in Weblogic. All that is needed is the "Username" to identify who submitted the form
