Is there a way to pass the user name to the Filemaker database?

Here is my example use;
A user authenticates to the Drupal site.
I want to see data from a corresponding record in a User table from a Filemaker file. (maybe I keep the shipping address in the back end database, but I want a registered user to be able to edit his own address from the web site).

Have the user log in, using a Drupal account. Use the Drupal user id (or user name) as the default value for a find (edit the field to get to the default settings). You will need to update your FileMaker database to include the user id (or name) in each record you want the user to see.

Please let me know if that is confusing or could be easier. I am closing this now, but feel free to reopen the issue if you have any questions or challenges.
