getRemoteUser()....problem

[DHollister]

Hello,   I have the following configuration. Windows 2000, Apache 1.3.12, Apache Jserv 1.1.2, JDK 1.2.2 and JSDK 2.0.   I followed directions from this site http://www.apacheweek.com/features/userauth to implement the user authentication.  The info below is in my .htaccess file, which is located in my htdocs directory...   AuthName "Restricted Area" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /ibminfo/larry require valid-user   The only other info I changed was AllowOverride none to AllowOverride AuthConfig.  The user authentication is working, ie I get prompted for a username and password when accessing the localhost (or anything in the htdocs directory).   Here is the scenario where I am trying to use getRemoteUser().  I have an html page in the htdocs directory (which in order to see it you have to authenticate), then the user inputs some other info, pressses the submit button which calls a servlet.  The servlet attempts to display in html the user via, req.getRemoteUser().  I get null for the req.getRemoteUser().  I am successful displaying other info the user submitted (like req.getParameter("LEXIS")), just not the getRemoteUser() method.    I apologize in advance if this is in the Jserve faq, but I have not been able to access the "new FAQ" site for 2 days now....http://java.apache.org/faq/   Thanks in advance Dave
