Hi List,
We are running Geoserver 2.11.1 with Java 1.8.0_131 on Tomcat 8.0.44.
I'm not sure if this is right place for my question or should I sent it to the
Tomcat list. Anyhow. Here is the problem.
We are not able to record the username in the Tomcat Accesslog. Geoserver has
it's monitor plugin and Auditlogs, which we have installed and logs are running
nicely with recorded username. In the Tomcat accesslog they don't show up no
matter what I try.
Here are parameters for the AccessLogValve in Tomcat 8.0\conf\server.xml file
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
directory="D:\Data\GeoServer\Tomcat_logs"
prefix="localhost_access_log" suffix=".txt"
pattern="%a %{X-Forwarded-FOR}i %u %t "%r" %s %b" />
I have tried to replace "%u" parameter with different kinds of syntaxes example
"%{username}s", "%{userName}s", "%{remoteUser}s", "%{remoteuser}s", but none of
them had solved the problem. Not even replacing "s" with "i". With
{Authorization}i, I was able to record that Geoserver is using Basic
authentication as it is set in UI.

The %u pattern code logs the remote username if the request was authenticated
with HTTP Basic or Digest authentication
I also found this old thread
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/18493/how-to-track-logged-in-user-in-geoserver
and here the logging the username seem really easy and trivial.
Can you help me?
With best regards
Ville Jussila
