catching the user agent when login to the system

mrbdrm

how do you catch the user agent when a user is logging in the system?
i know that Session ID and referral URL are accessible in LoginNotification.

What do you mean by the user agent?

mrbdrm

HTTP Request Header user agent , like

User-Agent: Mozilla /5.0 (Compatible MSIE 9.0;Windows NT 6.1;WOW64; Trident/5.0)

While this does not directly answer your question, I do know you can capture whether the user is on desktop, tablet, or phone.

I made three VP's that are exactly the same except each has a unique "Platform support":

In each unique VP, they run a unique process designed to log that particular type of user:

Thank you very much Tom.
however this solution will not identify two desktops accessing from the same modem/router, witch is what i am trying to do.

i appreciate your help 😃

it should be very easy thing to to in ASP or PHP
if i can pass a hidden filed value from the login page. it will be enough.

AwareIM is strange, hard to implement tasks on popular platforms are a breeze, yet easy and simple ones are impossible 😃

Here is how to pass a hidden field, with the user agent information, from the login page:

Add the following to your login HTML:
<input id="firstCommand” type="hidden" name="firstCommand" value="startProcessWithInit,ShowUserAgent,main,BO,UserAgent=userAgentInfo”>

With the above added to your login HTML, when a user logs in: BO will be created with attribute UserAgent set to userAgentInfo and process ShowUserAgent will execute.

Explanation of the above:
The name of the field must be “firstCommand”.
The value must begin with “startProcessWithInit,
Change ShowUserAgent to a process name in your BSV
main is the rendering option.
Change BO to the name of a BO in your BSV, which also must be input to your process above.
Change UserAgent to an attribute in your BO.
Change userAgentInfo to the actual user agent information.

For more information, see the firstCommand URL parameter in the Login section and startProcess in appendix D of the User Guide.

You are a genius Bob. trying this right away
Thank you Very much

i can't make any value pass with the process.
i can confirm the BO is created and the Process is started.

<input id="firstCommand" type="hidden" name="firstCommand" value="startProcessWithInit,CatchUA,main,Audit,UserAgent=55">

mrbdrm

Fixed.
Calculated in Attribute setting must be unchecked.
