GSA Authentication - Finding current logged in user
Pedro Jacinto
I have a GSA 6 configured to serve both public and secure results. I'm
using basic / ntlm and forms authentication for authentication.
Is it possible to know the username of the current logged in user
after he authenticates to the appliance ?
Alternatively, if it's not possible to do that with basic/ ntlm and
forms, can it be done using SAML ?
GSA 6 comes with the code below on the default stylesheet, in which it
references a /GSP/LOGIN element (which appears to do what I need), but
I can't find any reference to that element on the documentation... and
when viewing the XML results that element isn't there...
