ThANK YOU SO MUCH . ... I will enter this code to login code of portal and test it. thank you again .                 Assuming that the application "knows" the real username, let the first thing that the app does is call dbms_application_info.set_client_info passing the real username as a parameter.  This sets v$session.client_info to the real username.    T10-PARTS> select client_info from v$session   2  where sid = (select sid from v$mystat where rownum = 1) ;   CLIENT_INFO ----------------------------------------------------------------   T10-PARTS> execute dbms_application_info.set_client_info('REAL_USER_NAME');   PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.   T10-PARTS> select client_info from v$session   2  where sid = (select sid from v$mystat where rownum = 1) ;   CLIENT_INFO ---------------------------------------------------------------- REAL_USER_NAME   T10-PARTS> select userenv('CLIENT_INFO') from dual;   USERENV('CLIENT_INFO') ---------------------------------------------------------------- REAL_USER_NAME   T10-PARTS> select sys_context('userenv', 'client_info') from dual;   SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','CLIENT_INFO') -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REAL_USER_NAME     Hope this helps   Paul   -----Original Message----- From: Bunyamin K.

Dear Gurus , I have a comic question . ? We have a db and ias and portal . users log in by using portal login page . The problem is : because application server connects to db , in v$session the machines are all the application server machine . Although the users are db users , when you login from portal , the usernames are portal30 and portal30_sso ..   So how will I know which user is which session ? V$session gives no help ...   May be comic :) But can not find an answer .. Investigating portal for writing into v$session as the real username ..But no other thing comes into my mind ....   Any idea please ...           Bunyamin K.
