RE: RE: How to get Role and Password from JDBC Realme -using 3.2. 2

["Pernica, Jan" <pe...@dcb.cz>]

The username and the password is part of the request. you can get it from
	org.apache.catalina.util.Base64 base64Helper = new
org.apache.catalina.util.Base64();
	String unencoded = new
String(base64Helper.decode(request.getHeader("authorization").getBytes()));
	int colon = unencoded.indexOf(':');
	if (colon < 0)
	    return (null);
	String username = unencoded.substring(0, colon).trim();
	String password = unencoded.substring(colon + 1).trim();

I hope it helps
