I don't think this method of user identity is supported in browser based froms since the form is being rendered on the server and not the client. Therefore it is not running under the specific user.

We use the Qdabra Active Directory web service which will identify the form user's somain authenticated login ID as well as the additional information stored in AD such as email, phone, manager, department, etc.

Hi, friends

I have created infopath browser-enabled forms and uploaded them to sharepoint server, but there is one function not working, that is to get the current user who is using the forms.

I am using Infopath 07 and MOSS 07

I implemented it refering to this article from Infopath Team Blog,

Get the User Profile through MOSS Web Services

http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2007/03/07/get-the-user-profile-through-moss-web-services.aspx

Following is my code, when I test it in console app, it works fine and return my domain id, but when I put it in web service and invoke it, it returns nothing.

[Code]

public static string CurrentUserName

{

get

/*{

System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal _User;

_User = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User;

System.Security.Principal.IIdentity _Identity;

_Identity = _User.Identity;

string _Value;

//_Value = _Identity.Name;

_Value = _Identity.Name.Substring(_Identity.Name.IndexOf(@"\") + 1);

return _Value;

}*/

{

ProfileService.UserProfileService profileService = new ProfileService.UserProfileService();

profileService.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

ProfileService.PropertyData[] userProps = null;

try

{

// Passing null to this method returns the profile of the current user.

userProps = profileService.GetUserProfileByName(null);

}

catch { }

if (userProps == null || userProps.Length == 0)

{

return null;

}

string userName;

userName = userProps[1].Values[0].Value.ToString();

return userName.Substring(userName.IndexOf(@"\") + 1);

}

/*{ return System.Environment.UserName.ToString(); }*/

}

[/Code]

Anyone can help with this problem? really struggling to find the solution these days...
