Can I get the user's computer name when logging in to PLM?

Thank you in advance

Hello,

The easiest way to get this is to read apache access logs. You will get ip address of computer.

I want to know the client computer name or MAC address, not IP address. is this possible with apache log? in plm 10.x version

Hello,

I guess that it is not possible if http request do not contains that information.

Apache HTTPServer access.log contains IP information of requests and login name. 

Windchill_1x.x\HTTPServer\logs (Apache\logs)

• You can obviously manually run nslookup for ip addresses of interest.
• If you want to process an entire apache log file you can use the logresolv utility:
  • https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/logresolve.html
• If you want apache to log hostnames instead of ip addresses you can turn HostnameLookups On:
  https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#hostnamelookups
  
  • Bear in mind that apache logging might be somewhat or a lot slower when it has to resolve the ip's into hostnames. This will depend on the speed of your dns setup.
