[Acegisecurity-developer] getting user information at the page level
Hello. I'm quite new to Acegi but I think I am getting the hang of it fairly quickly. There is one thing though that I am struggling with. How do I get things like "username" to be displayed on a web page? I thought the UserDetails was stored in the Session. But it is really stored in an Authentication object, which is stored in a SecurityContext, which is stored in a SecurityContextHolder. Which is all fine. But, how do I access the SecurityContextHolder from the page level after a successful login? Is it available as a Session variable? If so, what is the name of the Session attribute? If not, how do I access the SecurityContextHolder from say, a Velocity page? I'm sure this is done quite regularly so I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks for the help.

Charlie, If you only want the username you can add the filter that exposes the username as the request.getRemoteUser(). -Scott Scott Battaglia Application Developer, Architecture & Engineering Team Enterprise Systems and Services, Rutgers University v: 732.445.0097 | f: 732.445.5493 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Charles Harvey III wrote: > Hello. > I'm quite new to Acegi but I think I am getting the hang of it fairly > quickly. > There is one thing though that I am struggling with. > > How do I get things like "username" to be displayed on a web page? > > I thought the UserDetails was stored in the Session.

Re: [Acegisecurity-developer] getting user information at the page level
>From a velocity page? I'm not sure how you get access to the request itself, but start with that... request.remoteUser request.userPrincipal.principal.username You need to add the ContextHolderAwareRequestFilter to your filterChainProxy for those to work, like Scott had mentioned.

Re: [Acegisecurity-developer] getting user information at the page level
When using VelocityViewServlet all request, response and session values are put into the velocityContext. So I should be able to do: $request.userPrincipal.principal.username But there is no "getPrincipal()" method attached to java.security.Principal. The only useful methods available are getName() and toString(). So I'll just try $request.userPrincipal.name and see what happens. I added things like email and zipcode to my AuthUser (which extends User). How do I get those values? Are they also somehow in the userPrincipal? Thanks a lot Charlie Ray Krueger said the following on 8/31/2006 1:28 PM: > >From a velocity page? > I'm not sure how you get access to the request itself, but start with that... > > request.remoteUser > request.userPrincipal.principal.username > > You need to add the ContextHolderAwareRequestFilter to your > filterChainProxy for those to work, like Scott had mentioned. > > > On 8/31/06, Matt Raible <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Here's what I use: >> >> >> >> Matt >> >> On 8/31/06, Charles Harvey III <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >>> Hello. >>> I'm quite new to Acegi but I think I am getting the hang of it fairly >>> quickly. >>> There is one thing though that I am struggling with. >>> >>> How do I get things like "username" to be displayed on a web page? >>> >>> I thought the UserDetails was stored in the Session.

Re: [Acegisecurity-developer] getting user information at the page level
When using the filter, the UserPrincipal is an instance of the Acegi token ( forgot the classname for some reason). It depends on what classes you're using I suppose. Does $request.remoteUser work for you?
