User Field

The TIBCO eFTL service can automatically append the user field to the messages that clients publish.

The value of the _user field is the user name that the client supplied to authenticate itself to the eFTL service. See the USERNAME property in the API documentation.

Back-end FTL and EMS applications can use this authenticated user name to authorize requests. (Back-end request authorization is separate from eFTL service authorization for publish and subscribe groups.)

To enable the eFTL service to append this field, see "Messages" in the topic "eFTL Service Configuration Parameters" in TIBCO FTL Administration.
