Subject: getting client IP addresses

There is a change in LOG_SESSIONS=2 with 8.5.1 that now includes IP address in the logging of user sessions. This is written to the notes server log.I’m not sure if that will help you any, but that was what immediately came to mind.

I know on the web there’s a CGI variable Remote_Addr that gets the ip address from the browser. I don’t think that works in the client.

I would think there might be something you could run on a windows client to grab that and pop it into a field, but I don’t know where to begin with that.

Subject: IP address - solution

Hi 1.

if your application is client based (notes based) then you can use windows API to get IP address.

  1. if your application is web based (domino based) then use CGI variables.

if you need API then mail me back. i will send you api code.

Thanks

then your life will be very difficult. Not sure there is a way you can do this.
