Hello

Is it possible to get a list of users without connecting to a session ?
I want to show a list of users in the self-made login dialog.

Thanks

I don't think so.

In the simplest scenario you'd need to query the users table in the
configuration database to get this list (and in more complex one filter
using roles and priviledges for users who actually have access to db you're
using and possibly not list Administrator account and such).

It would be relatively easy todo with a special session that you run first
(using pre-defined username/password) before showing the user login dialog;
or you could simply cache the user names on client app side (meaning once
they log-in it would remember).

This does have some security concerns so make sure you're ok with them (both
from built-in login info as well as showing actual usernames before login).

Luzi,

No, and it is usually considered a security hole to display user names to a
non-administrator.
