We have developed a software using apex. We are able to store the user's name and timestamp when he logsin in a table. Is it possible to store the user's PC IP address or computer name so that it will be possible to know from which PC the user has logged in. Thanks in advance.

Just make a call to OWA_UTIL.get_cgi_env ('REMOTE_ADDR'). You can include it directly in a SQL statement.

Getting the username is more difficult. Search here http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=137

Thank you for the reply.
I am only getting 127.0.0.1 which is the local host address.
is it necessary to give grant for running this sql? I want the machine IP address and not local host.

It sounds like you are running the test from your own machine - try from another machine. I use this successfully.

Hello,

how can I use this code in APEX in the first page:
DECLARE
i NUMBER := 2;
v_ip varchar2(25):='127.0.0.0';
BEGIN
IF OWA.num_cgi_vars IS NOT NULL
THEN
v_ip := OWA_UTIL.get_cgi_env ('REMOTE_ADDR');
ELSE
v_ip := SYS_CONTEXT ('USERENV', 'IP_ADDRESS');
END IF;
END;

I added this as ITEMS / DISPLAY ONLY but i doesn't show any IP address.

Simple example:
Add region "PL/SQL Dynamic Content"
Set PL/SQL Source:
htp.p(OWA_UTIL.get_cgi_env ('REMOTE_ADDR'));

Hello,

when i uset it in SQL*Plus as:
select sys_context('USERENV', 'OS_USER') from dual;
it works but as PL/SQL:
declare
usern varchar2(29);
begin
select sys_context('USERENV', 'OS_USER') into usern from dual;
dbms_output.put_line('User_win: '||usern);
end;
/

it returns username that login to SQL*Plus.
What is the problem ?.
