Since Geoserver uses Spring Security you can do the following:
To obtain the usern ame
Object principal =
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getPrincipal();
if (principal instanceof UserDetails) {
String username = ((UserDetails)principal).getUsername();
} else {
String username = principal.toString();
To get the roles
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getAuthorities()
Dont forget to check if
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication() is null, this
is the case if there was no authentication process.
Hope this helps
