Title: Geting user name from ldap and display it on the report
Post by: jive on 18 Mar 2010 02:56:09 PM
HI ,
I have a request from a client to add a blank page to each report for higher rank director,with the user name who ask for the the report.
I know I can have the username define has a parameter , but when I read It, confusion take over me. So, If someone can point me to a document or give me a simple idea I will do the rest.
We work with LDAP and I can saw the full user name when people log on, I think if I can see the complete log on name it will be easy to get the name and put it in a report... But I'm wrong.

Thanks in advance for your time

Try using a calculation with the syntax #sq($account.defaultName)#

Does this give you what you need?

Yes that's what I do, I finally found a document, an understandable one, on IBM Cognos website.
Thanks for your time
