    Hi Suresh,

    How you are redirecting to custom Web App , is it using window.open?

    If yes  you can get the Xrm object using  window.parent.opener.Xrm

    Here is sample code to get userid -

    window.parent.opener.Xrm.Page.context.getUserId();

    In addition you can also access CRM current entity data in client side using  window.parent.opener.Xrm

    Check here what you get from context -

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Suresh,

    I don't thin k you will get data in HTTP Context as this is just opening a page and the values depend upon how you have set up the authentication on your web app. If you are openeing the web app from a button within crm using JavaScript then you can retrieve the details within crm using the JavaScript and then pass it as query string.

    You cna refer the above shared article on how to query CRM data using JavaScript.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you all, i used the query string logic to pass user's GUID and used Response.Redirect() methods to keep the GUID consistent all across the webapp session.
