I have a situation where my users will be logging into their pages on an
IIS 5 web server, which authenticates them with their user ID and
password as configured in IIS. This works fine.
Now I need to add some new functionality to the web site that will be
using my tomcat webapp, and I don't want them to have to authenticate
again in my app, so I'm trying to figure out how to pass the user ID
from the web page on IIS, to my webapp. I thought
request.getRemoteUser() would do it, but that's returning null, rather
than the loggged-in user ID.
Here's what I have so far:
The web page on IIS has a simple form to ask for an input, which is
needed by the webapp's Servlet (EddSrvConfig):
<form name="frmSiteSelect" action="http://<TC
server>/EddSrv/EddSrvConfig" method="GET">
<input type="hidden" name="txtCompany" value="90555">
<LABEL for="txtSiteID">Site: </LABEL>
<INPUT type="text" name="txtLocation">
<INPUT type="submit" name="butGetCharts" value="Get charts">
</form>
When I debug on the TC side, I get the request, and the parameters from
the <input> controls are there, but I don't get a user ID. How can I do
that? Do I need a different kind of call than a GET? A different
method than .getRemoteUser() in my webapp? Or what?
Thanks!
Dave
