Thanks Rainer. If I want to explicitly pass an environment variable from the httpd to the tomcat, I am using the RequestHeader, JkEnvVar, Setenv but unable to have them as it is passed in the tomcat... how do I go about that? While I am completely convinced to use getRemoteUser() method only for getting the authenticated principal...
If you've already set a value in some variable "xxx", then you configure JkEnvVar xxx On the Tomcat side, you retrieve the value by request.getAttribute("xxx"); Regards, Rainer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
