Good Morning,
I have spent the better part of two days trying to find the answer to this problem but I am unable to find anything. I might be searching on the wrong terms because it seems like a pretty basic question. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
I have a Web application running in Glassfish 2.1. I am currently using form based login with the Glassfish's file-realm (planning on creating/using a LDAP realm for production). Once a users logs in, I am able to retrieve the username using this code:
[i]
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
String username = fc.getExternalContext().getRemoteUser();[/i]
However, I also need to retrieve the users security roles (group list). For example, if the user is part of the TechAdmin, TechManagement, and TechUser security roles, I would like to be able to retrieve that a list containing those group (security role) names.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Jon
