Kumar,
as default LayerPreview does not ask for user authentication since all the layer are configured for free access.
looking at the documentation I see:

Remote user | The username specified parsed of the request. Only available when request included credentials for authentication. | String |

  • | - | - |

This probably means that you have to force your client to use authentication on layer request.

Try to setup authentication rules for some layer forcing authorization requests:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/security/layer.html

This should add credentials to the request.

Cheers,
Carlo

Rakesh,
could you attach the complete Request dump (headers, request, etc…)? I’d like to verify if LayerPreviews attach the user information to the request.
Cheers,
Carlo

PS: keep the List in CC, in the case some other people may want to participate.
