I have a code in my HTML to discover the user name using : 

    var objUserInfo = new ActiveXObject("WScript.network");    
    var uname =  objUserInfo.UserName;

Unfortunately, this code only works in IE. Whats the equivalent code in JS ? I want to run this on Chrome or other non-IE browser. I have not so good alternative (cos vbs will be deprecated in html.. right ?) such as writing VBS but dont know how to call this via HTML :

Dim strCmd
    strCmd = "cmd /q /c ""quser console | find /i ""console"" "" "

Dim buffer 
    buffer = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Exec(strCmd).StdOut.ReadAll()

Dim c, consoleUserName
    c = InStr(buffer,"console")
    If c > 2 Then
        consoleUserName = Trim(Mid(buffer,2,c-2))
    Else
        consoleUserName = ""
    End If

    WScript.Echo consoleUserName

Another alternative is i put an IE-Tab extension on Chrome so that it can run . Works, but it doesn't look aesthetically good. :)

Do you know any other possible ways ? My Web Server is IIS

Thanks

ActiveX objects will not work in other browsers, only supported in IE. If you are developing chrome extensions you might need to look into some of chrome API More info: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/api_index No wide support for Shell, Network as provided via ActiveXObjects

  • As I said, I know its not working... Is there any equivalent of that code written in JS ? Or maybe any other equivalent so that I can extract user name ? – padjee Jan 21 '19 at 03:09
