and i try

request.getRemoteUser() ... it always return null until i do SSO login and i don't need SSO cause the user is login by his account to Windows

Can any one Help me

Solution

  • If you would like the user logged in to your application based on his logging into a windows workstation, then you are basically asking for Single Sign-on (SSO). In that case, request.getRemoteUser() would be the right method to call.

    You could also inspect the request headers and find the header that is populated with the username and then fetch it's value via request.getHeader("USER_HEADER_NAME").
