Reason : I have created a Customized valve as a separate jar used
for AAA interception of my APPS , Since I cannot configure each and

created a Valve to apply this at Tomcat level
I use the IWA (Integrated Window Authentication) of IE / FFOx for
Active directory AAA Authentication.
On-sucessfull AAA, in the valve I need the variables such as
username/domain name .... to be further used with in each
application
Hence I need to know if any possibilities to fetch the variables
into each of the applications from the valves ...???
Your valve can put anything you like into:
1. The request
2. The user's session
3. The application (context) scope
I recommend #1 or #2, depending upon your needs.
Is my understanding deficient, or is #3 not true ? The Valve doesn't know which
application has (or will be) been selected, or does it ?
In the context of a Valve doing AAA - and the fact that the OP wants to get the
authenticated user-id at the app level, I think Michael-O's answer is better, no ?
