If I've understood, it is the contents of the 'white part' of the Qube
interface what you need to have a personalized contents. 

What I do to get that is to include this code snippet at the start of the
pages with personalized content:

-------------
<?
$serverScriptHelper = new ServerScriptHelper();
$cceClient = $serverScriptHelper->getCceClient();

$username = $serverScriptHelper->getLoginName();
-------------

Now, suppose you are calling a CGI for really processing the request, to
which you pass the username as parameter:

------------

header("Location: http://your.qube.3/cgi-bin/process?user=$username";)
?>

------------

That will redirect the browser to the CGI with the username loaded in
the user variable

Another approach, if you need that the user info does not fly around the
network, is to call a program that connects to the server internally and
send the result back, once authenticated.
