Hi All,

Not without knowing how the user name/user id of the registered web site is stored, and where it is stored.

Hi Hack,
Thanks for your reply.

The user name is stored in the registered application's data base. per example,the site abc.com
is registered to my application Mysite.com. .All the information related to the site abc.com is stored in database of the abc.com application.Now i want to track the user who have logged in to abc.com from my application. Pls guide me in this regard.

Thanks

Is this your website and your database (if so, what kind of database is it?)?

Do you know SQL?

Hi Hack

No user name/id is not in my data base.It is other application's data base.

I am using Mysql to store the tracked data of the application.

Thanks

Hi Hack,

Here i want to get the information of remote user logged into the site.
I am using the request.getRemoteUser().It is returning null.
But i want the username;

Thanks

Typically, web databases will not allow outsiders to run querys against them without having permissions do to so.

Are the owners of this database aware that you need to run queries against it?

Hi Hack,

yes it is not possible to acess data base. But can i get the user login information of the registered site from my application using

request.getRemoteUser()
Thanks
