Re: Web Facing and Getting Web Session IP Address

Richard,

That is true what you said about the virtual session. However, that session should have the sort of information that you want.

I did find another document with some further coding. I also used the following API to retreive the environment in which the application was running. Pardon the spacing on this one as I am going from some screen captures.

d qqfenv pr 10i 0 extproc('QqfEnvironment')
d rc s 10i 0

c eval rc = QQFENV
c if rc = 1
c eval *in80 = *on
c else
c eval *in80 = *off
c endif

Indicator 80 being on meant that the application was being called from the WebFaced application running thru an HTTP server.

I will keep looking for more details on this subject.

Hello Nick/Chamara,

Thanks for the feedback. We do this already with True 5250 Telnet
sessions and it works great.

Since I believe Web Facing creates a virtual telnet session that lives
in the underbelly of the Web Facing Server I don't believe it surfaces
the IP address of the user's PC because the user hits the web server
which in turn talks to the Virtual telnet device. I'll look again to
see if I can get more info from the Virtual Terminal session.

If we can't, we're going to write a little client side app that captures
the user's User ID, PC name and IP address to the iSeries in a session
table. This will definitely give us what we need but it's a small
client app which I would like to avoid.

Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

Richard,

It has been a couple of years since I worked with Web Facing. I believe
there is information that can be retreived using the QDCRDEVD api. From
the
notes I have left over from that time, Use the format of DEVD0600 for
this
API. From the receiver variable that is returned, you can extract the
PC's
IP address from positions 878 to 892.

If I find an actual example of the coding that I used back then, I will
send
it along.
