Remote Username
I have a quick question and hope that someone can point me in the
right direction.
Once I have a user do basic authentication into a realm , how can I
reference the user name and role in the application?
I tried:
String username = req.getRemoteUser();
but all I am getting back is "null".
Thanks,
-Chris

RE: Remote Username
Posted by Rob Dickey <ro...@jwisetech.com>.
For username...
java.security.Principal principal =
HttpSession.getRequest().getUserPrincipal();
if( principal!=null )
{
userName = principal.getName();
}
To determine if user is in a specific role...the following call will return
true/false...
HttpSession.getRequest().isUserInRole(rolename);
