APEX

Dear All,
I know there are many other posts (some of them are very old) discuss about this issue. But unfortunately most of the posts endup with NO PROPER ANSWER. But still I believe that tehre has to be some way to do this. So this is my requirement.

I am using custom authentication module and I want to get the CLIENT MACHINE OS USER NAME for that. But I do not want to do any authentication against the client user domain.

How can I get this?

* There are some other way to get this using VB Scripts. But thats not a real solution for this due to followings
01. User has to manually allow to run VB scripts. So if user dissable that then we canot get the required info
02. Its working only with specific browsers(Mainly in IE and also we can get that thing work after installing plugins to Firefox.). So this is also depends with the bvrowser and plugings.

What I want to do is to get this info using a common way which is not depends with the browser or any thirdparty plugins.

Thanks,
Alex
