siteminder header value

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask. I am using CA siteminder for authentication. So after successful login I am supposed to get logged in user name from siteminder header. So if the target url is a Jboss application the in HttpServletRequest object request.getHeader("sm_user") returns an encrypted value. whereas if I target url is CQ5 application page then on that page slingRequest.getHeader("sm_user") returns unencrypted value of user name. Can anyone tell me why this happening?

Thanks

Might there is custom authentication handler implemented to decrypt OR siteminder might have configured to not encrypt for cq requests.

Solved... Had to configure siteminder not to encrypt the header values.
