All,
I am trying to integrate Spring /Acegi into a critical application. Our
company has common web authentication mechnism that we need to use for
authentication. It basically set the REMOTE_USER variable in the http request. I
can use request.getRemoteUser or request.getUserPrincipal() to retrive the
userid from a controller. How can I use this id to then integrate with Acegi
authorization capabilities. Since authentication is already taken care of by the
company's authentication mechanism, I just need to get the authorization info
from acegi. Any help or pointer where to begin is much appreciated. Thank
you.
