How to Access Subject after JAAS LoginModule?

[ohaya]

Hi,

I am implementing a JAAS LoginModule in a Tomcat environment, and have
almost everything working. The problem that I am having is that I
cannot access the Subject from within servlets and JSPs. I have tried
the following:

<% Subject subject = Subject.getSubject(AccessController.getContext());
%>
<b>Subject</b> = <%= subject %>

and am getting "null" for the Subject. Another fellow on the Tomcat
mailing list is having the same problem, and he has tried:

AccessControlContext context = AccessController.getContext();
Subject subject = Subject.getSubject(context);

but is also getting null for the Subject.

Does anyone know how I can get access to the Subject from within either
a servlet or JSP in this case?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi,

I just realized that there's a comp.lang.java.security NG, that's
probably more appropriate for this post. I'll be posting an inquiry
there. Sorry.
