Reading "ID" Portal session variable (profile attribute) with HTML or JS

We need to grab the "ID" session variable (profile attribute) from some non Lawson code to determine the users AD account since they are not logged onto Windows with this account. I can access it within code in Lawson but need to grab it in IIS for a thrid party SSO connection. Has anyone found a way to read the <> from code sitting on the IIS server? Thanks.

Are you talking about interrogating the XML document is returned by calling the /servlet/Profile

?

Yes, is there a function or way to query from within index.html or aspx code sitting on the IIS server?

The answer is Yes. Once a user has logged into lawson then you could execute server side script to make an XMLHTTPRequest then parse the XML document using DOM and grab the value of the attribute ID.

I don't have specific code to help but the following should get you started:
