As you suspected, request.getRemoteUser() is returning null.

There is one slight difference that makes me not use BASIC or FORM login; I am 
plucking the username out of the request header which is passed on to this 
servlet from a SSO framework.

All requests come through this servlet. So, yes, user principle and Subject are 
being created at every request.

So, is there a way I can do a IsUserInRole type check in the jsp's that this 
servlet dispatches to?

On a related note, what enables for this user to be propagated successfully to 
EJB layer, even though it's not available to the authenticating Servlet itself?

Thanks for your help!
