Get the logged in users ID in a REST request? - OpenEdge Development - Forum

Posted by Paul Radbone on 12-Dec-2014 15:07

Hi,

Is it possible to see the User ID for the request on the REST service on the appserver? I can get a SESSION ID with MESSAGE SESSION:CURRENT-REQUEST-INFO:ClientContextId, but I would also like to know the user.

Thanks,

Paul.

Hello Paul,

Use SESSION:CURRENT-REQUEST-INFO:GetClientPrincipal()

If it returns unknown - the REST service authenticated an anonymous user, or the OEClientPrincipalFilter was disabled.

If it returns a valid handle it will be the user-id authenticated by the REST service and the roles they were granted.

If the Client-Principal's session-id attribute is "0" it is a stateless (i.e. HTTP BASIC) REST request, or non-zero indicates a statefull REST request ( i.e. HTTP Form )
