getRemoteUser is always anonymous

Hello --

I have some legacy code that seems pretty simple, but for some reason I can't get it to get the username. The servlet resides on a Domino server. I'm using Netbeans to compile the code. I am able to get other information about the post, but not the request.getRemoteUser. It is always returning anonymous. I know that the user is connecting over HTTPS and is authenticated. Does anyone know what is missing?

Thanks,
Donna

My understanding (could be wrong) is that users connecting to a Domino server using anything other than a Lotus Notes client will be "anonymous." I believe this is to support access controls built into Domino databases (based on Notes User IDs).

Upon further digging, I'm thinking it's an authentication issue. See page 104 of this PDF...
