title: Identify web app user with using windows domain name
body: <p>I have a GWT webapp running on tomcat 7 on RedHat. All clients reside within intranet and use IE7 from XP machines to access the webapp.</p>
  
  <p>The new requirement is to setup per user log. If user claims he did something wrong because of webapp, the admin should be able to check webapp responses for that request. Another requirement(a very nice to have feature) is to avoid login/password screen and use domain username instead.</p>
  
  <p>I think I can ask my admin to setup Integrated Windows Authentication for Tomcat <a href="http://www.tomcatexpert.com/blog/2011/06/22/windows-authentication-apache-tomcat" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.tomcatexpert.com/blog/2011/06/22/windows-authentication-apache-tomcat</a>. Once IWA is implemented on Tomcat I expect I will be able to access username with HTTPServletRequest.getRemoteUser() from my webapp.</p>

  <li>Am I right in my assumption?</li>
  <li>Is there a simpler way than that?</li>
