Building on what Abdul is suggesting (since getRemoteUser() is what you’ll want) you basically need to get your J2EE server to require authentication using the Windows authentication method.  I know that JRun supports this and I assume other app servers as well but you’ll need to check their docs as to how to set it up.

 

Basically have the amf gateway protected using this authentication (or the whole server perhaps).  Then in your RemoteObject get the appropriate information (check out Working with session data in the docs) and away you go!

Hi,

There are methods in server-side scripts for such details, I guess in java
servlets, you can look for getRemoteHost(), getRemoteUser(),
getUserPrincipal() etc...

Check out JSP/Java-servlet documentation...

Thank you very much for your reply.

My Flex application will run in a server box, and be used within a
domain.
What I want is to retrieve the user's login-ID to its own box(domain-
id), and make it the only one authorized login-ID to my flex
application.

I tried to use "System.getProperty(user.name)" in remote object to do
that, but unforturnately, I can only get the login-id of the Server
box. I am wondering whether Flex can help me to retrieve the Client's
login-ID.

Sincerely appreciate your help!
