I want to get the username from the basic user authentication dialog that
pops up on a secured URL. I thought this would do it:
log("Remote user = " + req.getRemoteUser().toUpperCase());
However, it seems to return null. Does this not work? The user is
authenticated by the standard dialog box from the web server on the URL and
I would think this would get the name in the dialog box.
I have also tried:
String enc = req.getHeader("Authorization");
I did the routine with base64 encoding but it also seems to return null. Any
ideas here?
Thanks,
