*USER
*USER represents the User ID with which the Visual LANSA application (x_run) was started. If running a function through LANSA SuperServer, *USER represents the User ID used to connect to the server. If running in a Web Environment, *USER stores the LANSA User ID. Mappings between the User ID used to logon to the web session and LANSA User ID's are created through the Web Administrator.
*USER_AUTHENTICATED
*USER_AUTHENTICATED represents the User ID which has been used to log on to the operating system and which has been authenticated by the selected authentication protocol (such as Kerberos). If running a function through LANSA SuperServer, *USER_AUTHENTICATED represents the User ID used to connect to the server. The authenticated name is the fully qualified name which includes the User ID and the domain/workgroup/machine name. For example, [email protected], JohnCitizen@Johnspc.
In LANSA SuperServer mode, if the User ID is defined both as a local user and a domain user, the local user will be used for authentication.
In the web runtime environment, *USER_AUTHENTICATED represents the User ID used to log on to the web session.
- If Integrated Windows Authentication is specified, the User ID used to log on to the operating system is used for the web session, otherwise
- the User ID specified when the session is started is used.
- If Anonymous Access is specified, *USER_AUTHENTICATED is blank.
Please refer to *WEBUSER for more details.

*WEBUSER
*WEBUSER represents the User ID used to log on to the web session. If Integrated Windows Authentication is specified, the User ID used to log on to the operating system is used for the web session. Otherwise the User ID specified when the session is started is used. The User ID will be truncated to the length of *WEBUSER.
*WEBUSER is the first ten bytes of the *USER_AUTHENTICATED value.
