Re: How can I retrieve the authenticated user from within an MBean

Hi Torsten,

You could try this:

AccessControlContext acc = AccessController.getContext();
Subject subject = Subject.getSubject(acc);
Set principals = subject.getPrincipals();
for (Iterator i = principals.iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
     Principal p = (Principal) i.next();
     System.out.println("PRINCIPAL CLASS = " + p.getClass().getName());
     System.out.println("PRINCIPAL NAME  = " + p.getName());
}

Regards,
Luis
