You can get the user name for the request like this: request.getRemoteUser()
I think, by design, you are not able to get the password from the container. You can however, use the request.isUserInRole() method to see what role they are in. Otherwise, you'll need to access your DB for the password.

I have set up form-based authorization using DataSourceUserManager. Super! >From my initial jsp and/or servlet (not the login page), I would like to access the username of the person who just logged in. How can I do this? I have tried to get attributes from the ServletContext an the session. I have also tried various other things I'd rather not mention . . . So: How can I access the values of j_username and j_password once the user has been logged in? Also, where and what is j_security_check? Thanks, Joanne
