I have a web-enabled InfoPath form where I want to do some user checks.

I want to check if the logged on user (Active Directory) is equal to the Created By field from a SharePoint list object. (Object can be a InfoPath form or word document or what ever…)

I can retrieve the Created By and Modified By field from a SharePoint list.
But the Created By field in SharePoint has the value of Display Name in Active Directory of that corresponding user.

Is there a way to retrieve the username or SID of the user who created the object in the list?
(I want to keep the Display Name in Active Directory)

I retrieve the current logged on user with:
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity user_id;
user_id = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();

string strSID = user_id.User; // Unique system id
string strUserName = user_id.Name.ToString(); // Username

I retrieve the Created By field with a DataSource Connection also in InfoPath

Browser Forms
