Well, I was partially correct. It works perfectly when getting the remote
user in a jsp page. What I really want to do is get the remote user in a
filter. Basically, I have a filter set up to see if the user is logged in.
If they are not, I want to get their remote user and check it to see if I
can log them in seamlessly. I would prefer not to have to get the remote
user in the jsp page and then submit a page, just to have the user not exist
and have to come back to the page.
Does anyone know how to get the remote user or LOGON_USER in the filter?
Thanks
Rob

By default, tomcat ignores the REMOTE_USER header from Apache or IIS in
favor if it's own authentication. To get tomcat to accept the IIS
authentication info, add this attribute to the <Connector/> element in
server.xml:
tomcatAuthentication="false"

Subject: Getting LOGON_USER from the header
Hello
I have configured IIS 5.1 to redirect all jsp files to Tomcat 5.5 using
the isapi redirect dll. This seems to be working well and configured
correctly.
Now I am trying to get the LOGON_USER from the header. I want the
windows id of the user that is hitting my web page. I am developing an
Intranet site and want to do seamless login based on who the user
logged into their windows machine. I know I can do this by using the
command request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") in ASP. I also was able
to get request.getHeader("LOGON_USER") to work with IIS 5.1 and JRun 4
(using the dll they provide).
Does anyone know how I can get this information using Tomcat? I would
be greatly appreciative.
Thanks
Rob J.
