I am trying to get authentication working in a war file that is running on WebSphere 4.0.2 through a struts based ui. I have a login page that does form based auth and that works just fine. But when I link to a struts controlled url the app loses its user Principal. A call to request.getUserPrincipal().getName() returns the string "UNAUTHENTICATED" instead of the logged in user's name.
I have tried url mappings like this: "action -> *.do" and then the web resource contraint of /SysAdmin/*.do ( /SysAdmin is the directory where the protected servlets live) but that didn't work so I changed the url mapping to this "action -> /SysAdmin/ServletName.do" and then made the constraint /SysAdmin/ServletName.do and that still did not work. How do I protect a struts action so that I can ensure that the user is logged in so that the Principal object is valid at runtime?
