    That's the source view. Variables are found in the application at the app, flow, or page scope level. You access them either in an action chain or in custom Javascript. The screen shot I just shared shows accessing it via the assign variables action in an action chain.

      You want to capture a username/password in a form to pass to a service using Basic Auth?

        I just need the user name for the logged in form session...

        When we develop the web application in VBCS and make it to Stage->Live, it gives URL for that web application...

        User will login to the web application using OIC credentials....I want to capure OIC user name....

      Thanks for clarifying. That is kept in a system variable called "user.userId" - see attached screenshot.

      I get this error if I use it JS file - : $application.user.userid

      $application is not defined ReferenceError: $application is not defined

        Right, page variables are not directly accessible to minimize unintended side effects since action chains are fully asynchronous. As I mentioned in my other reply you need to pass it to your custom function as a parameter, then access it as that parameter variable.

      As in the username used to log in? I don't think that's exposed unless they use their email address to login. full name has user first and last name. 

      ~/jt

      • M Sridhar

        Yes. I am going by the assumption, for our Oracle Cloud account - email  will be used as username...Thanks!

      Hi

      How do I validate the user input (userid) with that of the available userids stored in business objects? Is there any specific method to do this authentication of user and if so, can we maintain the session for that userid?

      One approach I tried is custom filter. i.e. I tried to display the userid in a table below the user id input field by mapping the input variable to the tableSDP. Which shows if the value if present in BO. If not, it displays "No Data to display" In that I am unable to identify how to use conditional navigation to navigate to next page if validation pass and stay there and show error if failed. Please guide me through this. thanks in advance.
