Using credentials of a logged in user with JMX (Admin console extension)

Question

Hello,
I would appreciate any info regarding creation of a connection to the DomainRuntimeService MBean server in an administration console extension in BEA Weblogic 9.2.
The problem is that if I provide no security credentials, I'm not able to invoke any operations on the MBean server. Also the possibility of providing "default" user credentials within the extension "configuration" used to authenticate is not an option.
The most convenient way would be to use the same mechanisms used by the rest of the administration console, but there seems to be very little information around about where to retrieve the username/password used to log in to the console.
Thank you very much in advance, If you didn't understand my question, please ask for more information since English is not my native tongue.

Hi,
Check the following wiki content submitted by Michael Nicholls:

The code for getting groups for your case (current logged in user) should be like:-
IWDClientUser clientUser = WDClientUser.getLoggedInClientUser();
IUser user1 = clientUser.getSAPUser();
Iterator groups = user1.getParentGroups(false);
while (groups.hasNext()) {
IGroup group = groupFact.getGroup(groups.next().toString());
String groupname = group.getDisplayName();
Add this group name to a list
I do not have NWDS access at the moment so haven't checked it myself... you may try it out.
