it's only one user that I need to enter into the database at a time, and
only the username. reportedby needs to be text due to another
application that uses the same database.

Ok,
So you need to create a foreign key relation... So you need "requires="...
db.ips.reportedby.requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'ips.id <http://ips.id>',
'%(first_name)s %(last_name)s %(username)s %(whateverfieldname)s')
If you have only one referenced user you will have to change the type
of reportedby to integer since the id of ips is a int. If you want to
reference many users you will have to add something to you IS_IN_DB
requires :
db.ips.reportedby.requires=IS_IN_DB(db, 'ips.id <http://ips.id>',
'%(first_name)s %(last_name)s %(username)s %(whateverfieldname)s',
multiple=True)
And you will have to change also the type of the field for :
list:reference type
See book chapter 6 whit keyword list:reference

I need to have the username added to another SQL table on
submission of a form.
This is some of the code:
db.define_table('ips',
Field('id', 'id'),
Field('ipaddress','string', length=15, unique=True),
Field('dateadded', 'datetime', default=request.now),
Field('reportedby', 'string', db.auth_user, writable=False,
readable=False),
Field('updated', 'datetime', default=request.now),
Field('attacknotes', 'text'),
Field('b_or_w', 'string', length=1),
migrate=False)
db.ips.ipaddress.requires = [IS_NOT_IN_DB(db, 'ips.ipaddress')]
db.ips.ipaddress.requires.append(IS_IPV4())
the field 'reportedby' needs to be filled in with the username
taken from AD for the logged in user.

The issue is not putting the username into the web2py
database, but another database that's storing information.

I am not sure how you connect to LDAP, but there is
utilities to connect LDAP with web2py. You should read about
those in the book searching with LDAP as keyword. If you
only want to import LDAP user into web2py database table, I
suggest you to use the user table of the RBAC.
So then you can access those entries with CRUD, but also
manage who is allow to access those sensitive informations.

I'm logging in to my application via AD/LDAP. I can get
the variable of the username with no issue. What i need
to do next is take this variable and insert it into a
field in a CRUD form and have it show in my database.
Thanks,
Larry
