Authentication Question

[Jason Goldsmith]

Once a user has logged in, I can use the Get (Account Name) function to validate their identity. But more than one user can have the same account name, right? So if I use the account name as the match field to a related table, then the match field may not be unique.

How do I authenticate a user upon logging in, so that I can pull related data (based on that user) from another table?

Thanks,

Jason

Ensure that Account Names are unique to the user. There's no reason why two or more users should share the same Account Name.

Where are you seeing this? It won't happen within a a Pro file. And I don't believe that Active Directory will alow this, at least on the same domain controller. Not 100% sure about Open Directory.

Got it. I mistakenly thought Account Names were not unique.

Thanks
