A NullPointerException is clearly a bug. In the first situation, it should return null. In the second, I'd expect it to return the correct user name, but I can see the possibility that there might be more configuration required. I'm certainly interested in pointers to information about how to make this work, if indeed it does. In my deployment environment, the existing Apache server and its authentication framework, SSL certificate, etc., are givens that I can't eliminate (although limited reconfiguration is possible). - Raz ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=376685&aid=458075&group_id=22866 _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
