SAMACCOUNTNAME makes me think about Windows (SAM = Security Account Manager), but that's just based on the name, and that name could well mean something else in your context. >From what I understand, the name is stored in an environment variable (but I dont know how it gets there). Usually, the environment of a process isnt changed from the outside after creation. And Django is a long running process, so it should not pick up users logging in after startup. But I can be completely wrong on that one ... Assuming I am wrong above, you should be able to access the same environment variable from python code with : import os loginbruger = os.environ['AUTHENTICATE_SAMACCOUNTNAME'] More infos on http://docs.python.org/lib/os-procinfo.html The real problem I see there is that if there is multiple users connected to the server, I dont see how the right user could be associated with an HTTP session ... Good luck, and please, try to get the info on how the login process works ! -- Jabber : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype : Guillaume.Lederrey Projects : * http://rwanda.ledcom.ch/ * http://trock.ch/ Others : * http://kiva.org/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
