Did I fail it? ...

Is there a portable way to get the current user's username in Python (i.e., works under both Linux and Windows, at least). It would work like os.getuid: >>> os.getuid() 42 >>> os.getusername() 'slartibartfast' I googled around and was surprised not to find a definitive answer (although perhaps I was just googling poorly). The pwd mo...

I am working on user registration for a web app, and was just started thinking that I wouldn't want some clever/evil person to come along and register a user name like 'admin'. What other user names should I disallow? Database keywords? Does it matter? Thanks in advance for you responses! Edit: I have security covered. I am more inte...
Browsing through Coding Horror, I saw this article on removing the user field from a login dialog. It's an interesting concept albeit an old one from 2005. Nevertheless, I started thinking about it and wondered: How would you be able to do this in a secure fashion? If you identify the user by their password that means all passwords m...

I am designing a simple registration form in ASP.net MVC 1.0 I want to allow the username to be validated while the user is typing (as per the related questions linked to below) This is all easy enough.

I am trying to update a VBScript (very little experience with this, I do a lot of VB.NET), that reads an FTP directory and moves certain files to a new local directory on a daily basis. I have old code that works on an FTP site that uses anonymous logins, but I now need it to access an FTP site that requires username and password. Here...
Hi everyone, I'm writing software in VB .NET (2005) which uses the Windows user information as login credentials - just the username. I've found Environment.UserName which works for the username (as you would expect). However, I need more information - I need the full name of the user (as shown on the Start Menu). It seems this informa...
I am trying to find out where sharepoint gets the usernames from. In wss 3 on the "Personal settings" page there is a field name. In some cases it is populated with the login (like domain\username), on some installations I find it to be the actual name of the user. I guess that sharepoint at some point gets the real name from active dire...
