The connector receiving requests from httpd needs the attribute tomcatAuthentication set to "false" in server.xml. Otherwise tomcat will ignore the REMOTE-USER header provided by httpd.

Hy,

I have the following constelation:

Windows XP
Apache 2.0.58
Tomcat 4.1
Mod_jk 1.2.15

I secured one directory using htpasswd.
Calling the URL, the prompt to enter password and username pops up, and after I 
entered it correctly, the authentication ist succesfull. (also the apache log 
file contains the username).

But I can“t read out teh remote user using JSP / request.getRemoteUser() it 
returns null.

So the authentication againts apache is ok but, how can I get the infomation into my JSP-Pages ? How is this information passed to tomcat, which configuration setting a necessary?

Can anybody help me ?

Thanx in advance!

Oliver
