[undertow-dev] Can't get remote_user with basic auth

[Stuart Douglas]

It sounds like you are trying to use the Servlet API?

If so then you don't install the basic auth handler manually, you set
the appropriate info into DeploymentInfo and Undertow will set it up
for you.

Here is an example:
https://github.com/undertow-io/undertow/blob/master/servlet/src/test/java/io/undertow/servlet/test/security/basic/ServletBasicAuthTestCase.java#L89
