RE: Way to tie CWBLOGON UserID to W2K logged in UserID?

["Rooney, Michael P [CPB]" <michael.p.rooney@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

The W2K environment variable is USERNAME.  USERPROFILE also gives this
info but it's in the form of \%winsysdir%\profiles/.....

To test simply enter "set USERNAME" or "set USERPROFILE" in a DOS window.

Programatically you can use the GetEnvironmentVariableA API to retrieve.

Looking at CWBLOGON to give me back the function I had before I changed from
Win98 to Win2k.  (CWBLOGON lets you specify an iSeries user ID & password
once for each Windows "session" to be stored in a cache so that you are not
bothered with the prompt for a password every day.)

Wondering how to implement this.  Initially, I was thinking of AUTOEXEC.BAT.
But it occurred to me that it would be better if it ran only under my W2K
logon ID, and not someone else's.  But I am without a clue as to how to do
this.

Is there an environment variable in W2K that identifies the logged on user?

TIA,
