Hello,

We need to authenticate our clients with SPNEGO automatically.

The Tomcat server already works, a simple test.jsp will give me the username I need.

But how do I get the same String with jspx/myfaces?

This is what works:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>

<TITLE>SPNEGO/AD - Test</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

out.print(request.getRemoteUser()+" ");

if(request.isUserInRole("manager")){

out.print("Rolle manager -> JA ");

} else {

out.print("Rolle manager -> NEIN ");

}

</BODY>

</HTML>

How do I access the request object. I tried in the backing bean this:

FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

ExternalContext ext = faces.getExternalContext();

HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) ext.getRequest();

String adUserName = req.getRemoteUser();

I also tried having a method like this in the backing:

public HttpServletRequest getRequest () {

FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

ExternalContext ext = faces.getExternalContext();

return (HttpServletRequest) ext.getRequest();

}

and then accessing it in the jspx like this:

<tr:outputText value="Remote User: #{login.request.remoteUser}"></tr:outputText>

Both give me an empty string. Any hints?

Thank you,

Tobias
