Thanks for the tip David! For those who are uding jsf then it's done like
this:
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRemoteUser();
Next question is:- does anyone know how to expire the authenticated session
- used for logout.
Thanks,
Vackar

1. Reposts are annoying and I saw this post *3* times. Please wait for
answers.
2. Assuming you are trying to do this in a jsp, have your considered
${pageContext.request.remoteUser} ?
