Forms Public Portal - Can you grab the authenticated windows user information when using the portal.

asked on February 4, 2016 Show version history

When using the Forms Public Port, My understanding is it is unlimited anonymous users with form filling capability.

 

My question with this is can you grab the windows AD information from the user that is filling the form out or stop and ask them AD credentials ...... or in this case who who be considered the intiator?

Not by default. We have users log into our intranet site that authenticates against active directory and then we pass that information into the public form that is embedded into the intranet page.

If you set a business process to be Public, then no one needs to login when fill in the form. So the initiator of the instances will show up as Anonymous.

To add to this discussion from 2016... I just discovered that one of our forms that was built in April 2022 is naturally and properly filling in the original submitter with Anonymous User, however, what I didn't realize until today is that the Supervisors that get assigned to review the form are also getting their "Supervisor Reviewing" field ending up with Anonymous User EVEN THOUGH I programmed the field to fill in with the current user. 

This is because they are logging in off their cell phones, following the link from the email notifications, and not bothering to log into LF Forms.  This is not as intended, but no one spotted it until today.

So, the only things I can think of to get a proper name in there is to make the field Required and force them to type their own names in there... or get the field filled by copying the name that was added by the original submitter when they declared who their supervisor was.
