I have never seen that the getRemoteUser method you are referring to returned something userful, or just something other then null. Taken in account different browsers, proxies, internet-cafes... I don't think it's possible. On the other hand, why do you need that? As a matter of security this will not work, because an intruder will simply use a patched browser and a proxy. Maybe if you tell us what you trying to achieve, we can provide you a better solution.
