I would love to get rid of:

And replace it with:

However, I have to get the apache REMOTE_USER environmental variable and the only way that I've been able to do this is by using:

 

        HttpServletRequest servletRequest = ((ServletCall)((HttpRequest)request).getHttpCall()).getRequest();

        String Username = (String)servletRequest.getRemoteUser();

 

If you know of a way that is equivalent to the above using request.getAttributes().get( "value" ) or by any other means, I'm all ears!

 

Have any ideas?

Well,

 

the code seems right (albeit dirty as I warned you) :)

 

Only thing I can say: the header is not there. Are you sure that you put the header into the _incoming_ request? Isn't that coming from the response header you send out to do the auth? (if I understood correctly).

 

Ie. Maven will never send an email in header, when requesting an artifact :)

I'm using nexus 1.2.1 war with apache 2.2.3 and Tomcat 5.5.25.

 

I need to get header information from the initial HTTP request.  I'm doing the following:

 

    HttpServletRequest servletRequest = ((ServletCall)((HttpRequest)request).getHttpCall()).getRequest();

    String email = (String)servletRequest.getHeader("Shib-InetOrgPerson-mail");

 

I should be getting an email address, but instead I'm getting a null.

 

I know I should be getting an email address because I wrote a simple jsp test web application (and deployed the test to that same container that nexus is deployed to) to test the header.

 

I'm doing something wrong.  Any ideas?
