Hi ,

I am newbie to Struts2. I have the following issue while configuring the
container managed security in Struts2 with Websphere Application Server 6.1.
..Need urgent assistance Please...



Issue:
--------
 I want to secure my web application using Container managed security by
using Websphere Application Server6.1. Secured all the URLs by placing a
security constraint and map the relevant users/groups in my web.xml.But the
security credentials are not propagated to the LoginAction class.when i
print the request.getRemoteUser() it gives null.Where as the same works 100%
fine in TOMCAT server.

Entries in struts.xml
---------------------
<struts>
        <!-- Include webwork default (from the Struts JAR). -->
        <include file="struts-default.xml"/>

        <package name="default" extends="struts-default">
        
                <action name="login" class="com.xxx.xxx.action.LoginAction" >
                    <result name="load" >success.jsp</result>
                </action>
        </package>
</struts>

LoginAction.java
----------------

public class LoginAction 
{

        ...........
        ...........
        ...........

        public String execute()
        {
                
                HttpServletRequest request = ServletActionContext.getRequest();
                System.out.println("req.getRemoteUser() : " + 
request.getRemoteUser()); //
Prints null
                System.out.println("username : " + 
request.getParameter("userName"));
                
                return "load";
        }

}


Below are the approaches what i've tried so far:
-----------------------------------------------
Approach 1:
Converted the Same application to Struts1.2 and deployed it in Websphere
Application Server 6.1
Output:
It works fine.Can able to get the remoteUser using request.getRemoteUser()

Approach 2:
Deployed the same struts2 application in ApacheTomcat 6.0.14
Output:
It works fine.Can able to get the remoteUser using request.getRemoteUser()

Approach 3:
Deployed the same struts2 application in Websphere Application Server 6.1
Output:
Not able to get the remoteUser in LoginAction.It prints null.


Am i missing anything fundamentally.Please let us know what would be
required to be done to make it work.
