windows user name

[james edwin]

hi,
I need to know which user has logged in machine(windows os),that means username id and password for windows Nt. how can be this down in java ..is any way....

Getting the actual password requires finding (another)
security hole in Windows.
Getting the user name is the user.name property.
Look up the Javadocs for System.getProperty().
If you're looking for single sign on kinds of capabilities,
there are several good books on Java security. It will
require additional non-Java code on the Windows side.
Thanks,
Joe

You can get the user name by -

System.getProperty("user.name");

Moreover, the following code should list all the system properties for you.

public class SystemProperties
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
         System.getProperties().list(System.out);
    }
}

Let me know if it helps.
