Hi everyone, I'm actually using Tomcat on my environment platform (Tomcat 5.5 / Tomcat 6 and soon Tomcat 7). I have a frontend Apache http Server using the jk connector to communicate with Tomcat instance.
I'd like to change this connector and use the mod_proxy one for several reasons. The main difficulty to handle is relative to the remote-user information. Indeed the jk connector automatically transmits the information so that the application can retrieve it using a request.getRemoteUser() method call. If i'm not using the ajp connector anymore, i need to handle something on the tomcat side to set the remote user in the request object. I thought i could use a valve to do this. And that's where the road ends, i have watched the ajp conenctor code in order to see how the remote user is set in the request but i can't find it. Could you please tell me how i can do this ? Best regards. Sylvain
