Ok then. I am not familiar with IIS, but try the following :
In the AJP <Connector> of Tomcat, in server.xml, add the attribute
tomcatAuthentication="false".
Then try again in your servlet with getRemoterUser().
If that does not work, then we wiil have to find an easy way to dump the
HTTP request headers received by Tomcat, to see if there is one there
from which we can obtain the user-id.
Note that this is all a shortcut that may work in some cases.
If your real final purpose is to do SSO at the Tomcat level, based on
the user's Domain login, then I suggest that you have a look here :

Yes. The users are already being authenticated by IIS before IIS forwards

this userid from what I thought would be through the HttpServletRequest
class. However, that is not working. I tried to retrieve it using this
class on the header Authorization but I am still getting a NULL value.
I understood, that maybe through the workers.properties file I could SET a
server environment variable using the Request.ServerVariable("AUTH_USER")
method but I'm not sure how to accomplish that if that is a possibility.
I guess I'm just not sure how to get at the USERID that IIS should already
have in some form or fashion.
I hope that is more clear. I appreciate very much the question and reply.

Can you explain a little bit more in detail, or maybe just in another
way, what you are trying to achieve ?
Are users already authenticated by IIS (as per their Windows Domain
user-id), before IIS forwards the request to Tomcat ? And do you want to
retrieve this user-id in Tomcat ?
