I've never seen a function that will do that... think its a security thing.
I think you have to get the user name, and then Parse the User file
yourself, or read the database yourself... whatever realm you using.
If its BASIC authorization you using you could just decode the authorization
header, but the only reason that works is because its a weak form of
protection... if the admin guy switched to DIGEST... that method will break.
I've just about finished an alternative SSO authorization system for Tomcat,
thus my interest in your question... I'd be reluctant to expose passwords in
the API, however there may be a terrific reason for it... would you mind
telling me why you want to do this?

Subject: User-password from the HttpServletRequest
Hi
How can I get the password from the logged in user via the
HttpServletRequest in general? (I need the password in a servlet filter to
do some stuff)
And there some web server independent solution?
Thanks in advance and greets
Sam
