Hi,
I am not sure, but I think you have to do the following.
The first time a client attempts to access your servlet, you have to
reply with the status code 401 => setStatus(SC_UNAUTHORIZED). When
the client receives this response, it opens a window asking username
and password. After the user entered this information, the client
again attempts to access your servlet. Now you will get the remote
user information.
I hope this helps.
