How to set User Name in session?

Can anyone tell me if there is an user name variable already stored in a session object to which I can assign the user's name? I usually do this by storing a variable in the session to hold that name. When I print the session object (I am using websphere) I get the following...You will notice that there is a user name field that has value anonymous....how can i change that to store the actual users name?
Thanks in advance,

ok I did some more reading on the websphere literature and came to understand that the User Name indicated there was really set as part of an authenticated request from a secure page. And if the request was in an insecure page websphere automatically assigns "anonymous" to it.
Security integration rules for HTTP sessions
Sessions in unsecured pages are treated as accesses by "anonymous" users.
Sessions created in unsecured pages are created under the identity of that "anonymous" user.
Sessions in secured pages are treated as accesses by the authenticated user.
Sessions created in secured pages are created under the identity of the authenticated user. They can only be accessed in other secured pages by the same user. To protect these sessions from use by unauthorized users, they cannot be accessed from an insecure page.

Hi,gurus:
Our scenario is like below:
Sending files from an FTP server to another FTP server without using the integraiton repositary,and the file name is not changed .Now, we want to also send the file to some with by mail adapter.The scenario now works by using two business services in receiver determination.But the name of the attachment is "untitled.xml".We know how to set the file name staticly,but how to set the name dynamicly according to the source file name ?

"Accounting-Start" and "Accounting-Stop" with same "user name" and "session Id" recorded in different RADIUS servers.

Hi,
I have questions about "Accounting-Start" and "Accounting-Stop".
1.If a NAS configured to have a primary and a backup RADIUS server. To start with all the “Accounting-Start” records will be in the primary RADIUS server. Later on the primary server goes down (Primary server won’t tell the NAS?). When sessions stop, the NAS sends the “Accounting-Stop” to the secondary. I understand the “Start-Stop” record with the same “user name” and “session-id” ideally should be recorded in the same server. If this situation happens what should both the NAS and RADIUS server do?
2.A NAS configured to have a primary and backup RADIUS server. To start with all the “Accounting-Start” records will be in the primary RADIUS server. Later on the administrator decided to change the primary server (as there are problems with the previous primary). sessions stop, the NAS sends the “Accounting-Stop” to the new primary. This ends up the “Accounting-Start” and “Accounting-Stop” with the same “user name” and “session Id” in two RADIUS servers.
To summarize, how to avoid the ”start-stop” pair ends up in different servers ? If it does, is it an issue for RADIUS application ?
Cheers,

vignesh and BalusC,
following is the code in front controller's doFilter method. is this not thread safe?
        HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
        HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
        HttpSession session = req.getSession();
        somepackage.User user;
        if(session.getAttribute("user") == null){
            user = new somepackage.User();
            session.setAttribute("user", user);
        }else{
            user = (somepackage.User) session.getAttribute("user");
        }user object maintains all information about a user. if it is in session scope, everything should work fine.
another observation is after some time of usage, both people in different systems are getting same session.getId()
in my logout page i am using
session.invalidate();

How to set user specific Layout for executing IW38/IW39 report.

Create Variant using SHD0 and with Group and assign to particular user's
Here is the steps
Creating a Variant Group
1. Open transaction SHD0, enter the transaction code, and press enter.
2. Choose the Standard Variants tab page, and then the sub tab page Variant Groups, and enter a group name, such as GROUP_GEN
3. Choose Create. Enter a short text on the Maintain Variant Group window that appears and save the variant group.
Assigning Users
Once you have created the variant group and the relevant transaction variants with screen variants, you now need to assign users to the variant group as follows
1. Return to the Standard Variants tab page, Variant Groups sub tab page.
2. Enter the name of a user that you want to assign to this variant group, and choose Assign. A message that this user was successfully assigned to the variant group appears in the status bar. If you choose a where-used list for users, this user is displayed in the user list.
3. However, for the screen variants of the variant group that you created above to be displayed for the user, you first need to select Set Proposal. The user is assigned to the group and the associated transactions are started with the corresponding variants only once you choose the Set Proposal function.
You can use this procedure of user assignment for all other users that you want to add to the variant group
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Can someone tell me how to set my name so when I send a text it shows up instead of my phone number

Can someone tell me how to set my name so when I send a text it shows up instead of my phone number

You can't do that. Only the sending number is transmitted by the carrier with an SMS message. If the recipient has you in their address book, with most smart phones and some others, the name will display, but that's a function of the phone on the receiving end.

you need to negotiate Authentication in ur applet code...
          For example:
          If u r using Form based auth u need to send Post a request with j_user_name &
          j_password to the action j_security_check. and when server returns back the
          cookie
          u need to hold it and pass that cookie to the each and every request made to the
          protected application.
          Basically u need to imitate the browser.

How to suffix user name and password remote pc in shutdown /s command

Hi,
We can shutdown a remote pc using " shutdown /s /m \\ipaddress " command, only if password of remote pc is stored in windows credential manager.
But how to add user name and password when i execute the command for example : when we map a share folder on our pc we use below command with user name and password
"net use * \\ipaddress\share password /user:username "
can we give user name and password of remote pc while we give shutdown command to turn off a remote pc (without adding user name and password to windows credentials).
Thanks in advance..........

Hello Jayanth kundar,
Based on my test, I can use the command shutdown /s /m \\10.157.21.77 to shutdown the remote computer when the have the same username and password.
Do you mean that you want to add user name and password when you want to shutdown the remote computer?
I can't find a user name and password in Windows Credential Manager, please share us a screenshot.

How to reasd user name from the request

Hi,
My application is hosted on tomcat 5.5 and it is front ended by apache http server where the web agent 3.0 is installed. opensso application is installed on a different host on tomcat 6.0. I have configured external ldap for user application authentication and DS store is used for opensso application login.
If I try to access and protected resource of my portal application, I am getting redirected to opensso's log in page. If I provide improper credentials, authentication fails. And if I give valid credentials it looks like opensso is authenticating the user, but I am not getting redirected to our portal application main page.
Instead it is taking us to login page of portal application.
The portal application is expecting HTTP_REMOTE_USER header to be set in the respone. When I checked the header using Mozilla Live headers, I didn't find HTTP_REMOTE_USER header. Where does the user name information get stored? It looks like com.sun.identity.agents.config.userid.param is the configuration parameter for specifying the desired header name for storing user id. How to change it?
Regards,
Pratap

To give an update on the question, I tried printing all the headers in a sample jsp page that is protected. The sample jsp page is not protected in the portal but I marked that as protected in the opensso. If I try to access this sample jsp I am being redirect opensso login page. I supplied proper credentials and web agent redirected me to the sample login page. I don't see any headers for user id there. I also printed request.getRemoteUser() which is printed as null.
Can someone please tell me how do I get the user id?
Regards,
Pratap
