We have siteminder authentication and I am able to fetch the screenname(username) from the siteminder. Now I have to create groups based on the screennames. The groups will be Admin and Others. If the screenname is under admin group , it will be able to access each and everything else if the screenname is under other group, a different homepage should appear containing only the links which other group can access. How do I achieve this?

I have tried to use Realm, user,group roles method but it is prompting for username and password. Also I dont want to use any username and password because I want to filter on the basis of screennames.

PS: I dont have knowledge of spring framework and other framework. I know only JSP and Servlets.

Regards, Ethan

    If siteminder itself doesn't have the ability to create groups (I have no clue if it does) then you can make a db table associating usernames to groups. It would be a shame though, since then you're managing the username in two places. – developerwjk May 07 '14 at 22:04
  • Siteminder have the ability to create groups though we wont be using that. Also db table is not possible to use :(. Any other way please. – user3536982 May 08 '14 at 05:25
  • I have found the solution. Got all the information through the header names. – user3536982 Jun 12 '14 at 18:06
