I'm using apache as a front end to my tomcat 5.5 server and they are connected through the AJP 1.3 Connector. The problem I am having is that the authentication info doesn't seem like its getting propagated from apache to tomcat. When I call request.getRemoteUser() it returns null though I was authenticated through apache. The weird thing is that we have a tomcat 4.0container that the same apache server directs some requests to and the authentication information is propagated without a problem. It however is using the older tomcat4.Ajp13Connector though. The following is the Connector element in my tomcat 5.5 server.xml file <Connector port="8010" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3" />
Any hints? Thanks Jason
