Jason Goldsmith Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Keefe Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Ensure that Account Names are unique to the user. There's no reason why two or more users should share the same Account Name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 But more than one user can have 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.

Jason Goldsmith Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Got it. I mistakenly thought Account Names were not unique. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
