I have declared a servlet zone in a subdirectory of the root directory. I use the servlet from a very simple HTML form : <FORM ACTION=/soceca/SocecaServlet> <INPUT TYPE=.....> </FORM>
When I asked my html page, the security prompt works correctly and when I submit the form, the servlet is correctly launched except that the "getRemoteUser" is unable to get back the remote user from the security prompt. How can I get it ??? >How-To-Repeat: see description. >Fix: none. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
