You can get it using the API

Here is the related doc

Hi VikasB
Thanks for the reply. Yes I tried using that too.
So when I make a rest call within a component and pass the logged in user's login as the query param, it throws error saying "cannot switch to yourself"
If I don't pass the user.login query param, it says authentication failed
How can I go about this?
You do not need to pass the login details. See here, it works fine in the component.
Oh. I'm doing the exact same thing but getting an error. Please see below ( both with "?url" and without too )
If you are using SSO in community, you need to login first and then use the call: http://community_url.com/restapi/vc/authentication/sessions/current/id
If you're not using SSO on the community, you can login using: http://community_url.com/restapi/vc/authentication/sessions/login?user.login=username&user.password=password
