I'm trying to user WWW-Authentication with my servlet. Basically, I can get
the client to pop up a user-password window, but I can't get that
information from the HttpServletRequest object. This is what I am using to
test...
String remote_user = req.getRemoteUser();
if(remote_user == null || remote_user.equals(""))
{
resp.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
resp.setHeader("WWW-Authenticate", "Basic realm=\"Mike's World of Test
Servlet"\"");
}
In the first iteration, I expect remote_user to be null or "". I then set
the authenticate header. Then the client browser pops up the user-password
window. I type something in and hit OK. I now am expecting the remote_user
to be non-null and not "". However, this doesn't happen and remote_user is
always null. How do I get the information out of the request object.
