How to persist the details of the user logged on

[ankur021188]

Issue which I am facing is that, whenever I am using, new WindowsAuthProviderImpl().logonUser(userName, password), to authenticate a user, its getting authenticated, but the next time when Iam trying to access the username of the loggedin user when httpServletRequest.getRemoteUser(), its returning the value of the user loggedin the machine and not the user loggedin in the application.

What changes need to be done for the same?

The WindowsAuthProviderImpl().logonUser(userName, password) call returns a context that you can (also) use to impersonate the current thread. But if you did this in a servlet, it wouldn't know anything about the current thread running and return you whatever the remote user was that made the HTTP request.

If you want httpServletRequest.getRemoteUser to return the remote user you need to setup SSO with a filter or such and make an HTTP request with a browser.

I'll close this, use the mailing list for questions, please.
