Hi guys
I was able to solve the issue myself, yay!
For those interested, here is the simple solution:
By reading the source code of t-s-s I discovered that the
UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter saves the username into the session.
void onActivate(String extra) {
if (extra.equals("failed")) {
failed = true;
}
Session session = request.getSession(false);
if( session != null) {
Object usrnameObj =
session.getAttribute(UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFilter.SPRING_SECURITY_LAST_USERNAME_KEY);
username = (usrnameObj != null) ? usrnameObj.toString() : null;
}
}
Cheers
Beat
