How do I configure my Web server to request User for authentication ?
I tried changing the "jserv.properties" file "security.authentication= to "true", but could not start/restart my Webserver.
I am using Apache 1.3.6 with Apache Jserv 1.0b5, JSDK 2.0
 
Any help to get the user id will be greatly appreciated. ( "req.getRemoteUser()" is returning "null") !!
 
Thanks,
Annu

It's null as you get , It only has a value if the client has been requested to authenticate by his browser when he gets the page (and it�s configured in your web server)
 
So this null value means the user can get the page without authentification.
 
Have a nice day!!!!

Hi,
        Does anyone know how to get the remore user ID/Login (or where I am going wrong )?       
        I have written a sample servlet which should get me information about the  client.
   
 
    The code snippet follows:

      public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
               throws ServletException, IOException {
               ServletOutputStream out = res.getOutputStream();

                res.setContentType("text/html");
               out.println("<html>\n");
               out.println("<title>MyTrialServlet</title>\n<body>Should have va
lues for the client side.<BR>\n");

                out.println("Protocol: " + req.getProtocol());
               out.println("Servername: " + req.getServerName());
               out.println("User: " + req.getRemoteUser());
               out.println("Host: " + req.getRemoteHost());
   
 
.........................
 

From this I am able to get the Protocol, Server IP address but I am not getting the values for the "Remote User" and "Remote Host" (marked in red). The value is coming to be "null".
 
 
 
Thanks in advance.
