Authentication in NT Domain

[hispeedsurfer]

Hello,

I'm looking for a working solution for days without a result.

Please, can explain me someone the way to success in short steps.

My working environment:

JBoss-4.0.4.GA
NT Domain
Seam Web Application with user-login

The user try to access the application have to login with his nt login name.

When I use the following in the LoginBean, the String name is null.

FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
name = ctx.getExternalContext().getRemoteUser();

Is it required to setup a (ldap)loginmodul, and what I have to do than?

http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=LdapLoginModule I have allready read, but I am a Newbie an don't know what have to do

Thanks
Andreas

OK, another attempt.

What I have to do, to return the nt login name from clientsite?

From serverside I know the facility with

System.getProperty("user.name");

in Java.(return the currently loged-in user on server)

Is there a way from server (not with javascript etc on client) to get the username on client?

I use ejb3 with jsf(facelets)


Please help
THX

Is it possible to receive the username from clientside in a ejb3-Bean? (without user interaction)

Yes/No
