Annu,
Check the Apache FAQ for information about newsgroups and mailing lists.
http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html
What you are trying to accomplish will require you to setup your Apache
server to use authentication. It will also require that you properly setup
the .htaccess and .htpasswd files. The Apache lists/groups/FAQs will help
you along these lines.
You must be asked for a username and password before the getRemoteUser ()
method will return something useful.
Good luck,
Brian

Subject: Remote user information
HI Everyone,
I have been trying to get a remote user id in a servlet I have
written. I am using the "getRemoteUser()" function but it returns a null. I
was told to configure my Web server to allow user authentication. I tried
doing it but have not been successful in doing so, as after making the
changes mentioned in various docs - I still get a "null" value. (I have
tried using ".htaccess" file, htpasswd command, security.authentication
directive etc ... but did not work for me).
Has anyone faced this before ? If yes then please do let me know.
I am using
Apache 1.3.6, with Apache JServ 1.0b5
JSDK 2.0
jdk 1.2
Solaris 7
Secondly, is there a mailing list for users of "Apache web server" ?
TIA,
Annu Singh
