How do I get LDAP user information for logged in user into my MATLAB WebApp?

I have a WebApp server (Windows, R2022a) running a couple of apps, and it is behind LDAP authentication. When a user logs in, I can see that the user information is stored somewhere within the server because the correct username appears in the upper right corner of the main MATLAB WebApp server screen. What I would like to do is access that information inside my app. Is there a MATLAB command within the app that can access the logged in user? I tried:

user = compiler.UserInfo()

but all the fields were empty.

Thank you!

Your "userinfo.json" file is missing the "appAccess" section.

Let us assume that we have an example app named "userinfo_app". Then the "userinfo.json" must have the app field access section.

By default it will block access to user information unless explicitly granted. You need to specify app access as root-level element in "userinfo.json", like:

"appAccess": {
    "userinfo_app": ["UserID","Email","LastName"]
}

If you would like to grant access to all user info fields, you can specify appAccess as

"appAccess": { 
    "userinfo_app":"*"
    } 

If you would like to grant all apps access to all user info fields, you can specify appAccess as

"appAccess": { 
    "*":"*"
    }
