Yes. The users are already being authenticated by IIS before IIS forwards
the request to Tomcat. And yes, I am wanting to retrieve in my java app
this userid from what I thought would be through the HttpServletRequest
class. However, that is not working. I tried to retrieve it using this
class on the header Authorization but I am still getting a NULL value.
I understood, that maybe through the workers.properties file I could SET a
server environment variable using the Request.ServerVariable("AUTH_USER")
method but I'm not sure how to accomplish that if that is a possibility.
I guess I'm just not sure how to get at the USERID that IIS should already
have in some form or fashion.
I hope that is more clear. I appreciate very much the question and reply.
Regards.
