Tomcat Valve Custom args
Hi Spec: JDK1.6 Tomcat 6.0.26 O/s nix Suse I have build a Customized Valve and have done the required settings in context.xml for specific APP and have them returned variables System.println on console ( Catalina.out) Question : 1) How to get the return values into a JSP file [ using request. ] of the specific APP 2) How to get the values only once and not per request of the users [ servlet Filters do this process ] with regards KArthik -- View this message in context: http://tomcat.10.n6.nabble.com/Tomcat-Valve-Custom-args-tp4997226.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

What is APP? Valves are invisible to the app. There are Tomcat-only. If you need to set some values, resort to environment entries through JNDI. A listener should do that.

Re: Tomcat Valve Custom args
Hi Thx for the reply I know that Valves are invisible to the app.. Reason : I have created a Customized valve as a separate jar used for AAA interception of my APPS , Since I cannot configure each and every application hosted on the Tomcat with filters and hence created a Valve to apply this at Tomcat level I use the IWA (Integrated Window Authentication) of IE / FFOx for Active directory AAA Authentication. On-sucessfull AAA, in the valve I need the variables such as username/domain name to be further used with in each application Hence I need to know if any possibilities to fetch the variables into each of the applications from the valves ...??? with regards Karthik -- View this message in context: http://tomcat.10.n6.nabble.com/Tomcat-Valve-Custom-args-tp4997226p4997235.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

I hope that you have implemented AuthenticatorBase in Tomcat with your custom Authenticator. With that you can register a Principal object. I have written a fully-featured SPNEGO/AD Realm package which uses a custom ActiveDirectoryPrincipal extends Principal. In that I have stored distinguished name, objectSid, etc (source code available). First, make the Principal#getName return either the Kerberos UPN, or if you use NTLM (yuck) return the legacy login name. If your need access to further attributes do in your app: MyCustomPrincipal principal = (MyCustomPrincipal) request.getPrincipal(); ...access attributes. That is the way to go.

As far as request has passed through Mapper, it knows to what application (Context) and even to what servlet (Wrapper) it goes to. This happens rather early - in CoyoteAdapter. It happens before the request is passed to Pipeline (chain of valves). org.apache.catalina.connector.Request#getContext() 2. If valve was declared in context.xml, it knows what its parent is.
