<h:form>

    <h:message for="password" />
    <br />
    <h:commandButton value="Login" action="#{auth.login}" />
    <h:messages globalOnly="true" />
</h:form>



@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class Auth {

    private String username;
    private String password;
    private String originalURL;

    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
        ExternalContext externalContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
        originalURL = (String) externalContext.getRequestMap().get(RequestDispatcher.FORWARD_REQUEST_URI);

        if (originalURL == null) {
            originalURL = externalContext.getRequestContextPath() + "/home.xhtml";
        } else {
            String originalQuery = (String) externalContext.getRequestMap().get(RequestDispatcher.FORWARD_QUERY_STRING);

            if (originalQuery != null) {
                originalURI += "?" + originalQuery;
            }
        }
    }

    @EJB
    private UserService userService;

    public void login() throws IOException {
        FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        ExternalContext externalContext = context.getExternalContext();
        HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) externalContext.getRequest();

        try {
            request.login(username, password);
            User user = userService.find(username, password);
            externalContext.getSessionMap().put("user", user);
            externalContext.redirect(originalURL);
        } catch (ServletException e) {
            // Handle unknown username/password in request.login().
            context.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage("Unknown login"));
        }
    }

    public void logout() throws IOException {
        ExternalContext externalContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
        externalContext.invalidateSession();
        externalContext.redirect(externalContext.getRequestContextPath() + "/login.xhtml");
    }

    // Getters/setters for username and password.
}

public String logout() {
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().invalidateSession();
    return "login?faces-redirect=true";
}

This is for getting the principal

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getUserPrincipal();
