Have a better chance of logging the remote user in monitoring across different auth systems

Issue Type:

BugBug

Description:

Quoting Christian’s observation about how we get the user:

Different authentication mechanisms produce different kind of authentication objects. It is not guaranteed that auth.getPrincipal() is a user object. The Spring Security Authentication interface declares

Object getPrincipal();

Maybe the the following change would help to improve the situation

if (auth.getPrincipal() != null ) {
if (auth.getPrincipal() instanceof User) )

Unknown macro: { data.setRemoteUser(((User)auth.getPrincipal()).getUsername()); }

else

Unknown macro: { data.setRemoteUser(auth.getPrincipal().toString); }

}
