request.getRemoteUser()

843840May 30 2002 — edited Nov 8 2006

Hello all,

I am developing an intranet site, to be hosted in a NT network. When the user types the URL of my site in the browser, I should authenticate him with his NT login id. That is I need to know his login id from the http request coming to my servlet.

HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser() should return the login name of the remote user from whom the http request has come. But the above method returns null.

I am using iPlanet web server.

What should I do so that getRemoteUser() returns me the NT login id of the person?

Hope someone can help me out.

Thanx and regards,
Babu.
