Hi
I have a custom Principal which I create in my Custom Login Module, however
I am having problems as it is not being passed to the web tier i.e
public class CustomLoginModule extends AppservPasswordLoginModule {
...
protected void authenticateUser()
throws LoginException
{
// authenticate then create new instance of custom principal and
authenticate user
javax.security.Principal principal = new CustomPrincipal(username);
_succeeded = true;
commitUserAuthentication(new String[] {"users","admin"});
}
}
how do I pass the custom principal to the web tier:
public class CustomServlet extends HttpServlet {
...
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response) throws ServletException, IOException
{
// should return custom principal
javax.security.Principal principal = request.getUserPrincipal();
}
}
at the moment request.getUserPrincipal() returns null, what do I need to do
so that it retuns the same instance created in the login module?
thanks in advance
