Let me ask, what maybe a stupid question now, but when I print out the 
enumeration value of the request header names, see below, using 
request.getHeaderNames() should the user be listed as one of the headers which 
is passed on from the ISAPI filter:

=== MimeHeaders ===
accept = */*
accept-language = en-us
connection = Keep-Alive
host = localhost
user-agent = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; 
.NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; InfoPath.2; .NET 
CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; MS-RTC LM 8; MS-RTC EA 2)
authorization = NTLM 
TlRMTVNTUAADAAAAAAAAAEgAAAAAAAAASAAAAAAAAABIAAAAAAAAAEgAAAAAAAAASAAAAAAAAABIAAAABcKIogUBKAoAAAAP
accept-encoding = gzip, deflate
content-length = 0

Thank you.

OK, and I'm guessing that if there was a way to get the AJP connector to dump 
those attributes you'd have said so by now.
