Subject: Re: GETUSERNAME

I'm looking at SSO using NAS and EIM - I also have a scenario where I
need to find the Windows principal from the iSeries user profile. I just
dug into some of the APIs - it looks as if there's not a single API to
get the source from a target. I might be mistaken, am asking support
about that.

But I think a combination of the eimGetAssociatedIdentifiers and
eimListAssociations APIs can do the trick. There are probably a couple
assumptions, of course, like 1-to-1 associations only. In our case, that
would be a necessary assumption.
