RE: [flexcoders] Retrieving remote username with FDS

[Jeff Vroom]

That same approach should work with FDMS.   Have you used the setCredentials method on the DataService?    If the DataService and RPC service are using the same channel, they should also have the same FlexSession on the server side so only one service would technically need to authenticate.  If you are mixing services on the same channel, a little care is necessary to ensure that it had authenticated because (I am pretty sure) that if you call setCredentials on say a RemoteObject, it won’t actually send that to the server until you have actually tried to execute the remote call.    Jeff   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dimitrios Gianninas Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 11:39 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Retrieving remote username with FDS   Hi,   When using RPC services, on the server-side I can FlexContext.getFlexSession().getUserPrincipal() to retrieve the name of the user authenticated by the system... in the get and sync methods of FDS, this method call returns null... what else can I use?   Dimitrios Gianninas RIA Developer Optimal Payments Inc.   AVIS IMPORTANT WARNING Ce message électronique et ses pièces jointes peuvent contenir des renseignements confidentiels, exclusifs ou légalement privilégiés destinés au seul usage du destinataire visé.
