Thanks again , my situation is i wanted all the portlets in separate war files to know the currently logged in user and his associated roles. iam authenticating against LDAP and also getting details from LDAP. so how i can make all the portlets to get this details? Does individual Portlets should handle this? so when multiple user logs will this be a show stopper ? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4149559#...
