Description:
This request is created on behalf of our customer.

It is needed possibility to login into Enterprise Monitor by setting Header Variables (User-Mapping) with an 3rd Party Authentication tool. (e.g. CA Siteminder)
(Perhaps the file Auth.action may be eventually the right place to map Users)

How to repeat:
It is needed to secure Enterprise Monitor.
E.g. we have connected the Monitor over a tomcat_connector with an Apache.
In the Apache we have a security Module called "Siteminder Webagent" this is fromCA.

This WebAgent allows only privileged Users to access to the Monitor.
Now we need only to make an automatic login with th User Cedentials.
We can set the UserID as an HTTP_HEADER like HTTP_UID as a Server Variable.
If it's needed also the password like HTTP_PW.

The thing for us is how we can map the Server Variables to the existing User in the Monitor.
