Windows (or Mac) login info available to AwareIM?

Post by tford »

I'm wondering if Windows login user name (or Mac login) is available to AwareIM at all?

In Access I created a routine that did the following:
1- I.D. the Windows user login
2- check Windows user login against an access security table
a- if found --> Access login NOT needed --> security settings set
b- if not found --> Access login needed

In some applications, I used the Windows login 100% to determine Access program security settings. The assumption is that if you can identify someone via their Windows login, why make them type in another password to enter an application. Obviously, this would not apply 100% of the time -- it was just an option.

I'm interest to hear if you think there is possible application within AwareIM in the future.

Thanks,
Tom
