Hi, We are developing a web application with Single Sign On (SSO) feature using struts 1.2 and are using tomcat 6.0 container for deployment. We want to achieve a scenario similar to Windows Authentication. For this we want to know the user (user name who has logged in to the Windows OS) who has hit the website URL. I tried to use APIs of HttpServletRequest class. It gives me client IP address, but when I try something like httpServletRequest.getRemoteUser() it returns null (Struts documentation says that getRemoteUser() will return username only if the user is already authenticated). Does the HttpServletRequest object contain this information? Is there any other way to get the user name? Thanks in advance...
HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser() returns the username ONLY after the user has authenticated to the Application Server. It has no knowledge of the Windows (or any operating system) user or session. Googling "tomcat windows auth" gives many results. The first one is http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t146038-windows-authentication-in-tomcat.html Have a look, and try Google. You are not alone in this.. -- http://www.iki.fi/jarif/ You will be surprised by a loud noise.
