Re: Current User and 4D User on Server Are Different
Hi Keisuke, Sorry for the delayed response. I’ll have to come up with a way to check (when it happens have the user make a change.) I didn’t realize the literal user alias name (and not just an ID) is stored in the Journal record. I’ll contact Tony Ringsmith (in case he does see this!) and ask if LogTools reads the user alias field. If it does, I’m less concerned about what shows up in the Admin window (assuming the user alias is recorded correctly.) Thanks for your insights. dave > On Jan 25, 2022, at 5:23 PM, Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech > <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > > the current user alias is recorded in the journal. > > https://blog.4d.com/who-did-what-store-user-aliases-in-the-journal/ > > 2) What gets recorded in the journal file? > > ** > 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) > New Forum: https://discuss.4D.com > Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html > Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech > Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com > ** ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) New Forum: https://discuss.4D.com Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
Re: Current User and 4D User on Server Are Different
the current user alias is recorded in the journal. https://blog.4d.com/who-did-what-store-user-aliases-in-the-journal/ 2) What gets recorded in the journal file? ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) New Forum: https://discuss.4D.com Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
Current User and 4D User on Server Are Different
Hi all, I'm running a built application in 4D v18.4 with Mac and Windows clients on a Mac server. I have an odd situation. I run a custom users and groups which switches the current user in the background to match the user that's login in. On the 4D Server Administration window on the users tab, I can see a list of the 4D Users logged in. My problem is I have one user whose 4D Username listed in the admin window does not match what I get when I execute an ALERT(Current User) on his client machine. The client machine is correct, but the 4D server is showing the Administrator name. They don't match. The reason I want the current user to be accurate is that I use (on rare occasions) Tony Ringsmith's LogTools to find out who did a modification on a record and I want the .journal file to be accurate. So I have two questions: 1) Why would the 4D Server not match the Current User on the respective client 2) What gets recorded in the journal file?
