David, Thanks for the input. We have all the users in LDAP (Active Directory). But for this specific application, we have roles defined and I need to retrieve the roles for the user and store them in session bean. For this I need the userid from windows. Since the user has already been authenticated against LDAP to signon to windows, I don't want to authenticate him again by making him enter his id again.
