How to obtain an user's local IP ADDRESS?

Question

Hi Folks,

we are implementing a basic auditing functionality into our application.

Is it possible to somehow catch a user's local IP address - IP address taken from user browser ?

A below command returns IP address of server, where is a database running.

SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'IP_ADDRESS', 15) FROM DUAL;

Kind regards, Tomas

Hi Tomas,

Unfortunately there is no api to get the user ip address for now. I have opened a ticket for your request for version 1.2.

Hi Tomas,

Since version 1.2, you can use api_session.getUserIP API to get the user IP.

I agree with you vilsidis ! I have used the following code snippet to access users local ip address :

request.connection.remoteAddress

Here, connection is a property for request object . connection property comes under net.stream object. It contains remoteAddress property which is used to get the ip of the user .

I have used the site Ip-details.com to view my public ip address .
