How do I get user credential in Tomcat
Hi all, I am implementing Basic authentication, I would like to make both the Principal and Credential visible to my servlet being managed by Tomcat, I know how to get the Principal, but I can't seem to find a away to get the Credential. Does anyone have an idea as to how I can get this information inside my servlet. Thanks, Ike

Previous mails on 'j-security_check sessions' could give you a useful information. Since you're looking at Basic authentication, try to extract the credential from the authorization header.

Re: How do I get user credential in Tomcat
Well thanks to Frank I have been looking into filters so I'll probably use j_security_check and a filter to do what I want. I did look at BASIC authentication as an alternative, as you can extract the user:pass combo from the Authorization header with a little base64decoding, have a look at this site you might find it useful http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/java-ent/servlet/ch08_01.htm#ch08-3-fm2xml Chris. - Original Message - From: Jo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2005 12:36 AM Subject: Re: How do I get user credential in Tomcat Previous mails on 'j-security_check sessions' could give you a useful information.
