Returns a java.security.Principal object containing the name of the current authenticated user. If the user has not been authenticated, the method returns null.
Throws:
Returns:a java.security.Principal containing the name of the user making this request; null if the user has not been authenticated
/** * Returns a <code>java.security.Principal</code> object containing the * name of the current authenticated user.

public Principal getUserPrincipal();
Returns a boolean indicating whether the authenticated user is included in the specified logical "role". If the user has not been authenticated, the method returns false.
Params:
  • role – a String specifying the name of the role
Throws:
Returns:a boolean indicating whether the user making the request belongs to a given role; false if the user has not been authenticated

public boolean isUserInRole(String role);
Returns a boolean indicating whether this request was made using a secure channel, such as HTTPS.
Throws:
Returns:true if the request was made using a secure channel, false otherwise

public boolean isSecure();
Returns the string value of the authentication scheme used to protect the resource. If the resource is not authenticated, null is returned. Values are the same as the CGI variable AUTH_TYPE
Throws:
Returns:one of the static members BASIC_AUTH, FORM_AUTH, CLIENT_CERT_AUTH, DIGEST_AUTH (suitable for == comparison) or the container-specific string indicating the authentication scheme, or null if the request was not authenticated.
