[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBSEAM-967) JBoss Seam - Support authentication from a realm (on Tomcat)
JBoss Seam - Support authentication from a realm (on Tomcat)
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBSEAM-967
URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-967
Project: JBoss Seam
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Security
Reporter: Bradley Smith
Please see discussion in the JBoss forum reference.
The idea is to allow the Seam Identity (security) component to get the Principal from the
HttpServletRequest and to delegate the hasRole() calls to the HttpServletRequest as well.
This is because, in my case, Tomcat has already forced the user to authenticate if
necessary and the authentication, authorization information is available in the
container's HttpServletRequest impl.
Principal userPrincipal = httpServletRequest.getUserPrincipal();
boolean hasRole(String roleName) {
return httpServletRequest.isUserInRole(roleName);
}
public String getUsername() {
return httpServletRequest.getRemoteUser();
}
public boolean isLoggedIn() {
return httpServletRequest.getUserPrincipal() != null;
}
