NWGetUserInfo() and eDir 8.7.3

Hi all

I use NWGetUserInfo() for getting user names from my NetWare 5.1 
servers. By this function  I got  users' names with their full context 
while at the servers was setting NDS 7.62C. After an upgrade to eDir 
8.7.3 I get only short names of my users by this function. It is not 
very well for my app, because I need a full user context for my future 
  handlings.

Thanks for any ideas,

Could you reproduce this problem in a small complete program and post it
here, please?

Ok!
Here you are.

I think that the problem with this NWGetUserInfo() is not only in my 
codes. I tried to use the program USERINFO from the Novell example:

http://developer.novell.com/support/sample/tids/rusrinfo/rusrinfo.htm

and got the same result - user names are also without a NDS context in 
the eDir 8.7.3 environment. I noticed that the context has disappeared 
in the utility Send Message in Novell Client.

Ok! If this function has a problem with this, then maybe there is 
another way to get a full user name by connection numbers.
In any case the MONITOR shows us users with their full context with any 
eDir.

Any ideas - help!!!

Hello Victor,

Maybe you can use NWGetConnectionInformation to obtain the objID and 
solve the user with NWDSMapIDToName.
