[thelist] LOGON_USER in JSP

[david.landy at somerfield.co.uk]

Thanks Hassan. I've tried using request.getRemoteUser() in my JSP script but
it returns null. Is there some setting on my Tomcat server I need to turn
on, or some other switch?

I don't know anything about ASP for comparison, but see the JavaDoc
for javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest -- getRemoteUser() is what
you're probably looking for...
