displaying username in websphere access log - part 2

running WAS in Linux, authenticating using RACF to mainframe... but no user id in WAS access.log, just a '-'.  Any ideas how to get a userid in the log?

Saw that... but there is no real solution offered in this thread except for cookies, which the original poster pointed out wont work if the cookie is encrypted.  The author eventually closed the thread, saying the information was not available.  I'm am trying to find out if anyone has made this work.  BTW we are using form based authentication....

I guess the take away here is that with form based authentication I'm on my own :) .. looks like the best thing to do is going to be to write my own log with the info rather than rely on the access log.

Look at Websphere's excellent security auditing capabilities before you decide to implement auditing yourself.

That's not very polite.  Especially, since that's exactly the answer I gave you in both 35477249 and 35478364.

No biggie.  People screw up closing questions all the time, so you aren't alone.
