Question

Hello, Here is the scenario.

We use usernames instead of TWikiNames to login. The user authentication is done using LDAP. Because of that, the user entries are not made in the TWikiUsers page. So how else can I find out the TWikiName of a person from the username. Or is there a way in which the entry is made into the TWikiUsers automatically?

For Eg:- my username is prajish_s and the TWikiName is PrajishS. So by using prajish_s, I should be able to retrieve PrajishS.

The LdapContrib does this internally. Is there a way to read it using some command.

I found some scripts in /twiki/lib/TWiki/Users to do the same. Is there a way to call it in a TWiki page?

I found a way to get it

using the command

%USERINFO{}%

for eg:

 %USERINFO{"PrajishS"}%
