Get username in HTML5 module

Hi,

 

I have build a custom HTML module, and was wondering if it is possible to get the username of the user that is currently logged in to a site? In the SL viewer there is the OnAuthenticationSucceeded event that exposes login information, , but I could not find an equivalent in the HTML viewer api.

  Hey Berend,

  In HTML5-land the event is called AuthenticationSucceededEvent and it will contains the user's username and the token received.

   

  Cheers,

  Jason

  Hi Jason,

   

  Thanks for your reply.

  It seems that this event is only raised when using the Geocortex Security Provider, and not with claims-based authentication, is that right? Is there another way to get the current username?

  Hi Berend,

  Any luck with this so far?

  You could have a startup workflow which uses the Get Current User and then uses an activity handler to pass it into your module.
