how to populate userPrincipal in request object
Hi:
Would you please let me know how can I set the userPrincipal in request
Object.
I am setting the Principal and roles in Subject (2 Principal object
according to JAAS implementation).
When i run the code in debugger, I see the Subject in "reuqest" null, also
userPrincipal is null. Also, instead of role map in "request", its updating
security map.
Thanx

I am not sure what your exact situation here is, but the user certificate
stuff is only available if Tomcat requests it. And Tomcat only does this if
Tomcat is using certificate based SSL authentication. I don't believe this
will work if an Apache webserver is handling the SSL negotiation.

The easiest way is to write a HttpServletRequestWrapper that overrides the
getUserPrincipal method and returns the Principal you want to use.
Otherwise, you can't do it from Servlet code. You would have to write a
Valve that would have access to Tomcat's internal Request object and could
set it there.

Hi:
I am trying to find out how to poulate the userPrincipal from
HttpServletRequest.
I have the following code to retrieve the principal -
HttpServletRequest request = ServletActionContext.getRequest();
Principalprincipal = request.getUserPrincipal(); // get a Principal object
My qn is to how to set the userPrincipal.
thanx
