    How to obtain the user identity on My Profile page

    Reply Quote
    I am accessing MyProfile page of My Site.I want to retrieve the user name whose My Profile page is being accessed.One option is I can retrieve 'account name' parameter from url.Whenever i access the owner of My Profile page in a webpart placed on it,I get user as NT AUTHORITY.Whenever I access the owner of My Home page in a webpart,I get proper currently logged in user.Is there any SharePoint API-or other mechanism-which exists from which one can obtain the identity of the user who's SharePoint My Site/My Profile page is being visited?
