request.getUserPrincipal();

["Winter, G (Graeme)" <G....@dl.ac.uk>]

Hi All,

I am trying to perform client authentication using certificates, and I have
made some progress - the certificates are now accepted as OK, which is nice.
Obviously I am using https too...

However, the sting is that the methods

request.getAuthType();
request.getRemoteUser();
request.getUserPrincipal();

All return NULL, which is contrary to the documentation, since I know the
user (i.e. me) has authenticated. clientAuth="true" in server.xml.

Anyone else out there had this problem, and more to the point found a
solution?

Cheers,

Graeme
