Hello,
For Users that have authenticated from the Web Login page through Tomcat
Realm LDAP configuration is it possible to get the authenticated user's
ou=Organizational Unit or Department name? and also what their role names
are? I need this information to pass to a servlet or jsp page.
I saw documentation about the java.security.Principal class but could not find
any documentation or examples on how to get this type of information after
users are authenticated.
I am able to get the username with ${pageContext.request.userPrincipal.name} &
request.getRemoteUser(); but nothing about how to get the user's member
affiliations and roles.
The standard way to get the roles is to iterate over your expected roles
and ask for request.isUserInRole(role). The servlet spec has no API to
get directly a list of roles.
If you are willing to bind yourself to the implementation of JNDIRealm
you could get the list of roles. But I don't recommend it, as that
implementation is not guaranteed to stay stable.
Do you really need to get the list, or is isUserInRole enough?
Regards,
Felix
Any information or pointers on this is appreciated.
